Video Game Sequels That We Need

For many decades the video game industry has been able to pop out some amazing sequels. Mass Effect 2, Fallout 3, Street Fighter 2 just to name a few. But what about a game that doesn't have a sequel. There are many games out there that have captivated a player and even left an opening for a sequel. Only for us to not get one. Maybe the developers ran out of money, went into liquidation, or were even bought out by a rival company only for them to scrap the idea of a sequel to a hit game. We never really know what goes on behind the scenes, but one thing we do know is that as gamers, we demand a sequel for some fantastic games out there. So here is a list of just a few of them.

Gravity Chase Review

Gravity Chase is the latest retro-inspired anti-gravity racer developed and published by Repixel8 (Velocity G, Formula Retro Racing). Races take place within or outside of tunnel tracks. They require skill and precision to pick up powerups and keep ahead of the competition. Gravity Chase is available on Xbox consoles and Steam as of January 21st, 2022. Gravity Chase may be on rails, but don't let that fool you. As a kid, I never spent much time in what I would consider a full-on arcade. Sure there were some cabinets in places like the movie theater, but not really any buildings dedicated primarily to them. I did spend enough time playing some though to recognize a game that could easily have been in one of those cabinets when I see one. Gravity Chase is certainly one of those games. ...
