Just finished Amnesia, absolutely loved it.
I've heard Black Plague is by far the best Penumbra game... I've never played any others. Would it be a bad idea to jump right into Black Plague, or should I play the others first?

You'd think people would understand that Penumbra: OVERTURE is the first game.
