I wonder what is going on behind the curtain between Sony, Nintendo and Capcom regarding Monster Hunter. The PSP made Monster Hunter a success and Monster Hunter made PSP a success. Perhaps Sony is pinning their hopes on Soul Sacrifice and Phantasy Star Online to lure Monster Hunter fans to the Vita.
If it weren't for Monster Hunter Ultimate I would have never considered buying a WiiU. The only two games I played on my Wii were MH Tri and RE4. So the math goes ($300 + $60) times 13% tax divided by 1000 hours of MH Ultimate equals about 41 cents per play hour for a Wii U, then it can join my unused DS, Wii, and 3DS.
I can see why Capcom went with Nintendo for the next MH; they can save money by recycling the second generation MH graphics and character models on the WiiU.
I would like some of the classic casual games as well like a Solitaire collection, Sudoku, Majong etc. I have about thirty games on my itouch; ninety per cent of the time I am playing Spider Solitaire. I don't want to play $15 (Plants vs Zombies) for casual games but Tales about a Blob, Starstrike, and Pinball Arcade were reasonably priced.
"To someone who has never really heard of this series, which one would you recommend the most?"
I love Monsters the most. If you have someone to play with it is even better. It was my first PSN purchase (it was even on sale - woot). Eden is great too; for $3 buy all three.

Re: Feature: The Making Of The Sony PlayStation
Excellent enlightening article. I commiserate about your PSP's; I am on my third set of right hand buttons for my PSP.

Re: A True Fantasy Emerges with Soul Sacrifice Teaser Trailer
I hope this is a souls game and a monster hunter rip off.
