To be honest, I've never played the first one.

I really haven't played much games recently. I think the last game I completed was Alien vs Preditor 2. And that was only as the preditor. I started Diablo 2 and Baldur's Gate 2, but never finished. Other then that I just like to break out Civilization 2 and play that. I guess I'm a party pooper when it comes to games.
