I think the only time I've ever done this is with Resident Evil 4, which doesn't really rely on the earlier games at all; besides I knew enough about them to know who Wesker and Ada were for example.
Other than that, I pretty much never play a game until I've played the earlier ones if they build on one another. For example, I got Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts and Bolts as a gift, and went out and played the first two games first to make sure I got the jokes and references. Turns out there wasn't as many references as i though, but the games were fun so thats OK.

I jumped into the Silent Hill series with Silent Hill 3. Then went to play the rest. Not exactly the best decision for a newbie to the series, but it worked to hook me permanently and the series is now one of my favorites.
I have never played Metal Gear Solid (the original). I started with MGS2. I own the 3-game collection for PS2 now and will be playing that original MGS soon.

sure.
I played mario 1-2 and, and then 64 so i guess i missed 3 through 63...
BG2, RES4, Metroid prime3, and prolyl several others i can't remember.
Left COD4 and stuff like it out, cause the games are non-contiousus as far as i know, they're a new installemnt, not sequels.

This one doesn't really matter. AVP2 doesn't really have any story connection to AVP.Furburt said:
Final Fantasy and Call of Duty games don't really matter as each one is pretty much stand alone.Onyx Oblivion said:
The Modern Warfare Call of Duy games are the only ones that actually connect to each other on a storyline level, and even then you don't really need to have played COD4 to enjoy MW2, as MW2 only makes a few references to MW's plot(the nuke going off being a big plot point).
In fact, even in the WW2 games, the only real connecting factor if there are British, there's always a Captain Price and he's pretty much a walking badass who can't die.

Pretty much every game ever that was a sequel-
S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Clear sky
Jak 3, then Jak 2. Still never played the first one.
R&C 3, then 2 (did play the first as well, thought 2 was the best)
Black & White 2
Diablo II
Ground Control II
SimCity 2000 (I suppose there isn't much of a story, but still)
MechWarrior 4: Vengeance
TES III: Morrowind
Warcraft III
And that's not all of them.
Oh! and Sonic 2 & Jungle strike on the mega drive.
