I thought it was quite cool that alot of the things related to the anime programme .hack//SIGN. Apparently, Tsukasa, Subaru and Sora are yours to add to your party at the end of the fourth game (^.^)
.hack//sign is the first part of the story and the games are the second. There is a third part .hack//Legend of the Twilight Braclet which is a manga...but it is more of a tacked on story instead of the main story. Talks about AI characters created by the game. Kind of a explaining stuff to get you ready for the new stuff which deals with AI anomolies.

Now this new series is also an anime/game combo. .hack//roots takes place before .hack//G.U.
