Books are certainly worth reading but I didn't play either of the other games. Have been told that 1 is pretty bad and 2 is okay bar combat. I don't have an xbox and my laptop would probably be best for that sort of game anyway.
I prefer when you can mod games if you like so I play on PC for games like that. I heard that sometime soon you'll be able to have mods on your PS4/XBone.
