Did you ever find yourself wanting to play a new game but it's part of a series you haven't played and you don't really want to play the past installments?
Or maybe you did play the past installments but don't want to go through them again?

I'm looking for some site, or maybe a youtuber, where I can find full summaries (spoilers, ending, everything major) of games (series mostly).

I'm looking for the same thing for books. I've been reading a lot of fantasy series and it's just not feasible to go through the series to refresh my memory for every new book that is published every couple of years or so.

For books I've found http://www.sparknotes.com/ but it's more something that a student would use to write a book report, than what I need (it has less series and more "classic" reading material).

The other site that comes close to this is, of course, http://www.wikipedia.org/ and in some case it's actually useful for what I want but I was wondering if any of you know others.


Edit: No let's plays, as I want a condensed version.
