Reader Discussion: Catching Up Before A Sequel

This fall has an impressive slate of upcoming games. Many of the most anticipated titles are new entries in previously existing series, like Halo, Darksiders, Transformers, Borderlands, and Assassin's Creed. For some gamers, this means that it's time to replay earlier titles to prepare for the latest installments. Are you one of them?  

Arguments can be made for both sides. On one hand, the holiday gaming season is busy, and wasting valuable time on old games isn't giving you anything you haven't seen before. On the other hand, it does bring the events and the lore to the forefront of your mind. So which camp are you in? Will you spend time replaying old games like Assassin's Creed Revelations and Halo 3 just to get yourself ready for this year's blockbusters?
