What games or movies do you think are better than the original?
Half-Life 2
1998. HALF-LIFE sends a shock through the game industry with its combination of pounding action and continuous, immersive storytelling. Valve's debut title wins more than 50 game-of-the-year awards on its way to being named "Best PC Game Ever" by PC Gamer, and launches a franchise with more than eight million retail units sold worldwide.

I have beta install options for Half-Life 2, HL2 Deatmatch & The Lost Coast. I bought the episodes in the Orange Box but that was a PS3 purchase. I still have yet to get them on my Steam account.
The last time I played Half-Life 2 on Linux it was YEARS ago and I used wine. The experience now is much, much better.
I have 101 Steam games, 39 now playable on Linux and the number keeps going up.
Games or movies? Yikes.
Super Mario World > Super Mario Odyssey > SMB 3 > the originals
Aliens > Alien but not by a ton
Terminator 2 > 1 by a lot
Fallout 3 > Fallout 1 and 2 (don’t @ me)
God of War > God of War. Wait what?
Mass effect 2 > Mass Effect
Empire > ANH and I won’t comment on the rest of those at the moment
TMNT2 > TMNT (NES, not the movies)
Toy Story 2 > Toy Story
I could go on but I won’t. Those are the ones they just came to me. I think video game sequels are more frequently improvements on their predecessors than movies. At least they used to be. That may be going a different way now with the annual churn of some games.
Yeah lots of video game sequels are better. Borderlands 2 came to me but I really liked the original.
