Revisiting Sly Cooper

1up is running a feature about the previous two Sly Cooper game titles, underappreciated classics for the PS2. They're examples of truly great platforming for this generation of consoles. From the article: "Sly's emphasis on plot and continuity is one of its greatest strengths, which may be a pleasant surprise for gamers weaned on old-school platformers whose story lines rarely strayed from such gripping territory as 'Bowser kidnapped the princess again' or 'Dr. Robotnik is probably up to no good with those Chaos Emeralds (again).' Unlike the unambitious premises of action games gone by, Sly's narrative feels like a crucial component of the series."

Are you new here? Everyone knows that Nintendo sucks, they always whore out their characters, and that all their games are for children.

This post, on the other hand, shows why Sony is so great, how they can artfully use their characters in satisfying sequels, and that they can make games that the whole family can enjoy!
