Anyone can explain me what the Shin Megami Tensei series is about?

The core (numbered) series is about angel vs. demons and different factions/ideologies trying to shape the world in a certain way. Then the player character is the center of it all and decides what to do with the world at the end (that's just a rough outline).

And what with the Persona entries, or the Soul Hacker?

Persona 3: You're a high school student who just transferred to the city and there's weird shit going on with people turning into coffins and there being another hour after midnight called the Dark Hour, which is when shadows roam. The game is part-RPG and part-sim where you're either dungeon crawling or talking to various NPCs throughout the day and help them with their problems and such. The game follows a calender system and you go to school and are able to go around the city to do stuff and such. Also good music and battles, as well as a stronger story and character focus than mainline SMT.
Persona 4: Similar to P3, but you transfer to the countryside and there's a murder mystery involving people being thrown into a TV world.
Soul Hackers: You're part of a hacker group called the Spookies and you're trying to uncover what's going on with a villain group called the Phantom Society. This is a first-person dungeon crawler.

Sounds interesting. The TV world thing reminds me totally of Catherine, which is also Atlus's work.
