Play them in the order they came. DO NOT play them in chronological order story wise.

I'm curious. Why play them in the order they came out? I'm not saying it's wrong, but I'm curious why would that be the best way to play.

I'd like to know as well.

Im guessing its because the evolution of gameplay. Hard to go back to older games when the newer games have more refined gameplay...
