Status : Offline | I'm a fan, though I never managed to get hold of the very first one, which kind of spoils the whole thing, because the series is so strong on story, and you don't really have a clue what is going on if you had not played the first one.
I ended up reading a summary of the story, but it's not quite the same thing, is it?
I have blood Omen 2, and Soul Reaver 1 and 2. Played a bit of all of them, but I found Soul Reaver rather hard as in.. :-[ hehe, getting stuck in areas...
Ooooh.... a remake of the first game in the series would be soooo nice.... I wonder how the original would play in something like SCUmmVM or Dosbox? ...or can it play on modern OS's?

Status : Offline | I suspect that the PS1 version of blood omen 1 would be easier to find than the PC version. I see it in the used games section from time to time, while I've never seen the PC version in a used games section.
I tried the original way back, and while it was a fun game, the series does not really kick of until Soul reaver, which is an excellent game.

Status : Offline | Oh, I'm a fan... I didn't play BO and SR games, just watched my brother play here and there. I did play Defiance several times - again, with my brother, because I wasn't fond of Kain's sword-swishing ways and my brother hated all the adventuring you had to do with Raziel.
tl;dr Excellent series with a crazy storyline, love it.

Status : Offline | I only like Blood Omen games.Kain is such a cool character and he has one of the best game voice overs ever .The best way to play the first BO is to use a PS1 emulator rather than a PC one btw.You wouldn't have any compability problems, you can save the game whenever you want and if you'd like you can use cheat codes.
