I don't know if "sequel" is an appropriate word to use for games though. Because this industry is built on "franchises" rather than sequels, game franchises are iterative similar to software production rather than "sequels" in the same sense of books or movies.

Mass Effect 2 is for sure at the top of my list, but Half-Life 2, Fallout 3, Fable II, and Return to Castle Wolfenstein get honorable mentions.

I honestly never consider any sequal good unless it can maintain the original feel of the game while introducing new machanics. And honestly, the only game which has even come close to this is Assassin's Creed 2 and perhaps MechAssault 2. Red Alert 2 was just an improvement in general. So that might get my vote.

Mass Effect 2 killed alot of the realism of the game with far more literal RPG elements. Half Life 2 was in no way better than the first. It looked better and had the same atmosphere, but was riddled with mini-puzzles and had poor plot progression. Halo 2 was promised as the final Halo, the Halo where we "Finish the Fight", yet we didn't. Not to mention it was rushed. And there really are no others I can think of that really matter.

I would say that my vote goes to Project I'm Going In (IGI) 2. It is the most underrated FPS game of all time.

In a close second place I would put Half-Life 2. One of the most venerable franchises out there.
