Like many others I'm sure, I downloaded Bioshock Infinite for free as part of the games with gold for March, and bought the first Bioshock for $5. (probably won't get the 2nd unless it's cheap and seems worth it).
Does it matter what order I play them in? Is there a way that will be more fun?
I heard the story is unrelated but I'd still like an experienced player's opinion.

the stories are in no way unrelated... whomever said that is a dunce. play it 1, infinite, 2. it's the order of quality. BS1 doesn't look great now, but it was amazeballs in 2006. 2 changed too much and the writing wasn't as good. and it feels kinda half-baked to fit in a shoe-horned MP mode. you need the DLC for infinite(burial at sea 1&2[[b]complete BS1 first[/b]]) and BS2 because they add story missions/add to the lore. 2 had a laggy, half-assed MP that's now dead. ignore those MP only dlc packs... either way, DO NOT play infinite without beating BS1 first. BaS is the part of BSI that ties the whole series together in one sad but mind-blowing twist that only makes sense if you beat the main game first... RIP Irrational Games. no more bioshocks or infinite DLC.
