Okay, so I got Metroid Prime for GC a month ago, which I was very happy about. Then, about a week later, I got Metroid Prime 3: Corruption for Christmas. Does this series follow a timeline because I haven't played Corruption yet, and I really want to. I'm just worried that I wouldn't understand the game, that I'd have to play and beat Prime and Echoes to get the story of Corruption. Is this true? Or am I just an idiot?

I played the main primes and the only thing you need to know is... WARNING!!! If you havn't completed Prime 1 this is a SPOILER!!! ...that after you killed the "metroid prime" and he absorbs your suit he transfors into dark samus. And that in prime 2 dark samus revives each time you kill her.End of spoiler.
You can play prime 3 and get it... but if you wan't to know whos dark samus you must complete prime 1 (or read my spoiler).
Yes, the game does follow a story so if you skip to Corruption you will not understand what's going on. You could probably read it on the internet though.
I'd play through the first two primes though. They are both amazing games.

yes i read the storie before i even played metroid prime 1. Metroid 1 and 2 are beautiful games that are rich in storyi i highly sugest you play them first.
I played through MP1 and 2 and only had a vague understanding of what was going on. I understood the main story as a whole, but I wasn't too sure on the details. If you just are playing the game to play it then go play MP3, but if you want to see what the story is like, play 1, 2 and then 3. It's not a really deep story, but I suppose it could be if you took the time to scan every little bit of information in all 3 games.
the story in the prime is pretty str8 forward. go forth in your badassery decimate horrid beings in your path. just with different variations to a situation ie phazon. but if you want the full story play the originals on the nes and snes.
I would easily say that yes the games follow one story line. You can however, because of the nature if the Metroid games, play them in any order you want and still be able to follow the individual game. That being said, all three are spectacular beyond reason and should be played to ultimately get and appreciate the full effect and see the series play out in sequence.
If you've already played Prime and haven't yet played Corruption, I'd say play it smart and go through Echoes first. Once you skip it there's no turning back you know? Plus it's the longest and hardest of the three. It has the most content for sure.
