The first game is really good. The second one is basically good but the fighting system is dated now and I can't really remember Defiance...

Some of the game-mechanics feel old now but the epic story and atmosphere makes up for it. Definitely play the first one, it's a classic!!

I've only played the original, but it was an extremely fun top-down RPG ala Zelda... I haven't played any of the 3D ones, but I've been meaning to track them down

The soul reaver series is amazing. Soul Reaver 1, Soul Reaver 2 and Legacy of Kain: Defiance make up the trilogy. Blood omen is mostly about kain and totally different. Anyways the series is action/adventure so it has awesome 3d combat and 3d maps but theres not alot of character development like in an rpg. Its more like zelda in that you just occasionally get life extensions and stuff. It can be frustrating if you forget that you can use your new powers in other area's to unlock stuff that you could not at first which might lead you to run around aimlessly for hours lol. But its an awesome series. Definately worth owning.

Legacy of Kain: Blood Omen was the original title it was on the PS1 and PC, Legacy of Kain: Soul Reaver was the spinoff sequel, and the first one to go 3D...

Blood Omen 2 was a straight-up action-adventure that did do some things with the story line, though not much. It was a pretty fun game, though.

Defiance was a pretty trippy time warp and parallel dimension type game, and I really enjoyed it. It had a fair amount of the mythos involved.

The best one IMO is Soul Reaver for PS, then soul reaver for PS2 is nice but not as it´s predecessor.

And the Blood Omen, I never find it as complex as the SR

It's also the Blood Omen series, so don't leave them out when you collect the series.
