Don’t you just love it when there’s a brand new game out on the scene and you get enveloped in it until you play it so much you can’t possibly get any further!. Then you discover that they are bringing a sequel or expansion out and the nail biting wait for its release lures. But do sequels always meet the expectations of the ever growing and changing aspects of what we assume with the newer versions of games?, Or do we sometimes wonder why they even bothered producing anything that would do the original game to injustice, due to the changes that have been made that make the game experience different than the original version?n

I’ve played a few games in my 22 years of being a gamer and I’ve always loved looking for different things that challenge me and take up new concepts in game play, I remember when The Sims first appeared on our PC’s and the new idea of making someone else’s life successful (or a misery) and designing your own dream home was awesome and as time went on Maxis would release expansions that would give your Sim a new range of furniture or another place to go hang out.

But although the games were being mass produced by some giant Sim-filled idea machine expansions kept coming, I felt it all got a bit too repetitive and although the expansions were offering you more in the way of game play it just seemed like it was becoming a money-spinner. I hold my hat up high to the people who thought and made the game as it was a very successful and revolutionary game but after a time it got a bit monotonous and I felt like I didn’t want to waste my money on a game so that my virtual person could have the latest fine furniture.

Games like GTA are also another excellent series of games although the gunplay stays the same, the theme and the environment which you are in varies from each version of the GTA series, offering gamers a more engaging experience each time they play, by it being different maps a different decade and the content of the games that change to accompany the storyline you follow while progressing through. This in itself makes GTA one of the most awaited game releases around when the guys at Rock star games have new things to offer.
