BioShock 1 had a very deep narrative, 2 failed to capitalise on the deep history of Rapture and the universe. Instead it tried cheap thrills to cash in on the bioshock title.

and it reused over 80% of the original game's assets as far as i could see while i was playing the game

Yeah was such a pain to play. The difference between the two in terms of being good was night and day.

Well, there has been other DN games between the two.. I'll agree, though, that in the feel of the game, DNF did not touch on DN3D. Such a waste of perfectly good IP.

What about Duke Nukem Manhatten project from 2002?
Wikipedia says there where about 13 games featuring Duke as protagonist between DN3D and DNF.

I'll throw Fable III into the ring.
Bioshock 2 really seemed like an expansion for Bioshock rather than a sequel. Not much new, and the story didn't have much on the first one, plus it had lost it's novelty. That said, I still enjoyed playing it. Definitely want to get my hands on Bioshock Infinite when it comes out

You could say Fable II as well but def Fable III.

yes but they're not considered Canon sequels to the dn3d story
Same applies to movies, you had american pie 1,2,3 then you had spinoffs such as american pie presents this,that,wotever and only now 9 years later american pie 4 is coming out.

Just though of another one, Unreal2
The cutscenes were horrendus. That feeling of exploration just not there.

Much write, very gaming
As far as I see it they were both released on the same date.
Doesn't matter though, it doesn't make them any better
Hmm, you're correct once again - don't know why I only recall ever seeing it on PSP. I've updated the article to reflect this, thanks!

well the opening level of dnf (duke playing the video game of himself) is essentially the final boss level of dn3d so imo that is canon !

Red Alert 3 was one of the biggest letdowns I can remember.
And then there was a bunch of mortal Kombat spin-offs like Mythologies: Sub Zero, Deadly Alliance and Deception. And then there was the last Oddworld game, I can't even remember the name but it was a long dump off of Abe's Oddessey.
The people that make shitty sequels like this should be taken out and shot somewhere.

I actually enjoyed both Dragon Age II and Bioshock 2 a lot. Guess I'm in the minority here.
