 A reader lists 10 game that are a decade or more old and yet still haven't had a sequel, including Bulletstorm and Skies Of Arcadia. Any game that achieves any modicum of sales success seems to pretty quickly get a sequel these days. There are also a number of fantastic games, however, that for a variety of reasons, seem destined to forever remain the only title in their respective series. Here are the 10 best games (well, my personal favourites) that we've waited a decade to see a sequel too. BattleBlock Theater (2013) BattleBlock Theater is a 2D platformer in which the goal is to collect a specified number of diamonds on each level before locating the exit. The platforming mechanics are solid, and the puzzles are challenging and enjoyable (particularly in co-op), but what really differentiates Behemoth's title from the overcrowded genre is its sense of humour. I can think of few games, besides perhaps Portal 2, that caused me to laugh out loud as often and a sequel that retained this sense of humour would be very welcome! Tearaway (2013) Charming is not a word that can often be used to describe a video game, but it is certainly more than apt in this case. From the unique visuals (everything is made from paper) to the way it combines traditional gameplay with brilliant use of virtually every feature of the PS Vita, it's simply a joy to play from start to finish. A finish that must surely rank amongst the best in video game history. An expanded remake, entitled Tearaway Unfolded, was released on the PlayStation 4, but just isn't quite the same. Seeing as Sony's handheld is long dead, there isn't really any way a full sequel could match up to this original at this point anyway. Sleeping Dogs (2012) Originally planned as an instalment in the True Crime series, the developers eventually found a publisher in Square Enix and Sleeping Dogs was released. It certainly can't match the GTA series for scope){kind=link}
