How many of you play the prequels once more if a sequel is announced ?

For me, I always pop in my old disks and play the prequels in anticipation of the upcoming sequels. The reason might be to brush up on gameply or to catch up on the story, etc.

As of now, I'm busy with Diablo 2 :D

I beat SC last month for SC2. still working on BW though.

also playing RE4 for RE5...but that doesnt come out til next year lol.

I tried to squeeze in all the MGS before 4, but didn't finish 3 and couldn't wait.

I always do this, with movies as well as games.

I just finished playing MGS3, MGS, and MGS2 in preparation for MGS4. (I preordered the game; just have to rent a PS3 now.)

When Legacy of Kain: Defiance came out, I played through Blood Omen, Blood Omen 2, Soul Reaver, and Soul Reaver 2 before starting Defiance.

One of the best parts of a story-based sequel is how much life it breathes into the old games.

I have been known to play the prequels before the sequel comes out.

I've also been known to replay games I'm about to trade in for another game.

I've also been known to go back to old magazines to read reviews and previews of games I am about to buy
