The tragic flip-side of increasingly ambitious video game narrative is when for whatever reason (more often than not an MIA sequel) an otherwise brilliant and rewarding story goes unfinished. So we've decided to help. We've decided to get you some closure by working out how nine of these unfortunately in-limbo tales should have ended. We've even done pictures to help you imagine.

It's funny how the games business works. Big successes become popular franchises, we keep buying 'em because they keep getting better, and developers keep churning 'em out. Later, we'll complain about Call of Duty being the same stupid thing, buy it, verify our complaint, and keep the cycle strong. What about the stuff that doesn't review well, though, or doesn't sell, or doesn't quite live up to the hype? Those games are usually left for dead, and an original IP hoping to make its big break becomes a one-shot failure.
Aren't these the games we should see sequels to? Disappointing games are the ones that need the most improving, and are the games that'd benefit the most from a second chance. Remember, Assassin's Creed eventually became Assassin's Creed II.

The Wii's success was unprecedented. Sell-outs were expected... but for months? For years? For a system that sported last-gen graphics and didn't have an impressive launch line-up? No one saw the Wii coming, and though it didn't see the same number of AAA titles as the Xbox 360 or PlayStation 3 did, the system still had a large library of extremely inventive, wonderful games that took full advantage of its strong motion controls to create utterly unique experiences.
We've gathered together the best 25 for our list of the "Best Wii games of all time," a list we don't expect to ever change again (unless something coming out in the next few months really surprises us)...
If you were to look at the PlayStation Network a few years ago and compare it to its competitors, there wouldn't be very much to say. “It's free” was usually the best argument you could offer. With time, however, Sony's online gaming network has come into its own, adding in features and content that have helped to make it – if not exactly a match for the likes of Xbox Live – at least a worthy contender.
