Black & White series, the sequel introduced new features that made things interesting but fell short of the original due to lack of features that made it so unique, and also lack of multiplayer/skirmish.

Crysis series.  Crysis 2 had completely different aliens and a completely different nanosuit, despite it being a nanosuit that was featured in the first game (Prophet's nanosuit), and also made the suit some really dumb bioweapon because apparently it's easier to generate genetic codes in a nanosuit instead of a laboratory.

The Half Life series. I never played the first one but the second one was utter stuff.

Blockland. The Non-Demo part is full of children.

Penumbra.
Overture and Black Plague were both good.
Requiem was bad. Really Bad.
Nothing scary about it, and it was pretty boring.

Red Faction

Starting from Gorilla, I was hoping Armageddon was going to be open world, big let down.

The Half Life series. I never played the first one but the second one was utter stuff.

The events of the first one are kinda important


Penumbra.
Overture and Black Plague were both good.
Requiem was bad. Really Bad.
Nothing scary about it, and it was pretty boring.

I actually read the entire Wikipedia article on all of those yesterday. Penumbra was going to be a 3 part series, but it was cut down to two. People were confused, so they made that to try to tie things together.

spiderman 3

not really a second part

sly
starting from sly 2
sly 3 sucked

need for speed shift

need for speed shift 2
NOTHING LIKE THE ORGINAL
NOTHING AT ALL
NOTHING AT ALL
NOTHING AT ALL

Call of Duty 4 was my favorite game for awhile.

Then 5 and 6 came out...

Fable: The Lost Chapters was a gaming masterpiece.
Fable II, on the other hand...
Fable III was a complete pile of balverine feces and my expectations were through the roof for it.

Dammit Peter Molyneux, be sure to deliver next time you decide to promise the world.

Penumbra.
Overture and Black Plague were both good.
Requiem was bad. Really Bad.
I'm yet to finish black plague, im too much of a big pusillanimous individual :I
