it is, or at least they used to be a lot better. 9 is my favorite, so id say start there. you can buy it on psn or uh... [s]run it on an emulator if you really wanted too[/s]

al of them are still fairly good games. 12 is good but i feel that they take Van's story and kick it to the curb. i haven't played 3-6, and I only know a good bit about 8 because my sister played through it. 11 and 14 are online games. 11 was really good but now its kinda broken so people can power level too easy. Mostly due to changes made so that people just joining can catch up. 14 is pretty awesome, if your up for paying monthly for it anyway. i just manually pay for every month because there are times i cant get on a lot.
