We all like to compare one game with another, but what about different iterations of our favourite titles?

OXCGN's UK based writer takes a look at some popular titles, both new and old, and gives his view on changes, good, or bad? . . . Come and see what you think.

So it has been a few months since the first few comparisons that we did in Part 1, so it is once again time to compare a few sequels and their respective predecessors – some new and some not so new.

As previously discussed, games do have it a little easier than films in that they can rely on game play to make a game better, not simply the characters and plot line.

If a games plot and characters are weak, it is still possible for it to be a successful and even good game – if the plot and characters in a film are no good, so is the film.

For me, characters are my favourite part of any story and this might help explain some of the choices below.

1: Gears of War vs. Gears of War 2

Let me start by saying that both of these games are great. Plot lines, game play and the characters all top notch.
