S.T.A.L.K.E.R. series play order?

[Sebiale]

I'm pretty sure I want to play CoP last. But I'm not sure if I should play the prequel first or not, for the sake of chronological order.

Which play order would prevent the most spoilers for the game played second?

SoC -> CS -> CoP

[Halororor]

I'd play CS first, to get the bad part over first. CS really didn't do the series any justice.

[IndorilTheGreat]

CS is the Prequel to SoC, but SoC was released first.

 

Either way is fine, really.

I think play soc first, if you play cs first it ruins some of the story of soc
