Most games don't need you to play the first in a series to appreciate the later ones.

Only a couple RPGs and heavily story-centric games come to mind.
Half-Life? You can skip straight to 2. KOTOR? You could skip straight to 2, but 1 is better in every way, so you might as well play 1 first anyways.

Waiting a while to buy games has a serious benefit.

Ya, I did the same thing with Mass Effect 2. It was down to $15 or $20 *NM*

If you can stand the wait, that really is an excellent way to do it

Incidentally, I really DID play half-life 2 for the first time a couple weeks ago.

It was. . ok. And yes, I know that's probably a blasphemous assessment.

I would say that this is one of the detriments to waiting so long.

Games as a developing platform, I'd say technological innovations that help gameplay are important.

Very true. A good practice. I very rarely buy games when they first come out
