Sequels. Yay or Nay?

IGN wrote a superb article on sequels, detailing whether games, as entertaining mediums, need to have sequels or not. They mentioned Assassin's Creed 2, which developed on everything that it lacked in the previous game. They also mentioned Mass Effect games by Bioware as one of those rare games that stand out as a self-contained story as much as they do as parts of an epic trilogy and franchise. These words rung true to a gamer that has experienced all these games at one point or another. Read the full article here.

and Fanboys assemble! Here are a few good articles about The Empire Strikes Back, which turns 30 this year. Other geeks often refer to Empire as the most outstanding episode in the Star Wars Saga, but Revenge of the Sith will always be my favourite. Epic lightsaber duel atop Mustafar FTW.
