Each game is standalone, but they join together. So you can buy one, two, or all of them. I would go with the original, since it's the cheapest for the same amount of content. If you finish it and like it, you can buy the others.
There may be a package out that allows you to buy all three for one relatively lower price. You might want to look around.
If you're just starting in GW, I'd buy Prophecies then Nightfall then Factions in that order. Prophecies because it has the gentlest learning curve. The tutorial area in Prophecies (called Pre-Searing) is large and has a lot of quests there to teach you the ropes.
If you would prefer a later campaign, go for Nightfall. Again, it has a fairly gentle learning curve and a huge "newb" area where you can learn the ropes pretty well. Plus you get heroes. Factions has about the steepest learning curve, and is really designed for players who've been through Prophecies. And it's more PvP-centric.
All that said, each campaign is good on its own merits. You won't go wrong with any of them.
this is also a great repository for all the game information including high res images of Armour and Weapons skins, aswell as mission information and boss listings
