ESRB Rates The Sly Collection for PlayStation Vita

April 21, 2013 Bartle Doo Leave a comment

An ESRB rating dug up by CVG indicates that The Sly Collection — the 2010 HD re-release of PlayStation 2’s Sly Cooper trilogy — will be coming to PlayStation Vita. (We loved the PS3 version.)

If true (and it almost certainly is, as the ESRB doesn’t rate games out of thin air), this will mark the second Sony-owned HD collection to make its way from PS3 to Vita; the Jak & Daxter Collection was recently confirmed to be coming to Vita after a rumor surfaced last month indicating that it was a possibility. However, to verify, we’ve reached out to Sony for comment and are waiting to hear back.

ESRB Rates Jak & Daxter Collection for PS Vita

March 23, 2013 Bartle Doo Leave a comment

This morning, a rather interesting link from the ESRB’s website has been circulating. It appears that the Entertainment Software Rating Board has rated the Jak & Daxter Collection for PlayStation Vita.

The Jak & Daxter series was a well-known and popular commodity on PlayStation 2. Developed by Sony-owned developer Naughty Dog — the studio previously responsible for Crash Bandicoot and since responsible for Uncharted and The Last of Us — Jak & Daxter was one of a number of PlayStation-exclusive 3D platformers on PS2, along with the likes of Ratchet & Clank and Sly Cooper.

Review: Sony's rascally raccoon Sly Cooper returns

February 20, 2013 Bartle Doo Leave a comment

It’s been seven years since ring-tailed master thief Sly Cooper has headlined a video game—about three times the lifespan of a typical wild raccoon. The guy’s been on Sony’s bench since his creators, Sucker Punch Productions, moved on to the “InFamous” series, so you could forgive him if his skills are rusty. …read more

Sly Cooper: Thieves in Time Review

February 5, 2013 Bartle Doo Leave a comment

Consider this: there hasn’t been a new Sly Cooper game since 2005. A year before PlayStation 3 hit the market, developer Sucker Punch released Sly 3: Honor Among Thieves on PS2, and then the studio moved on to the Infamous series, was purchased outright by Sony and seemed to have left its old mascot behind. But that didn’t stop a green, eager developer from attempting what, to many, would be completely unthinkable.

Without permission or funding, Sanzaru Games began working on a PS3 version of Sly Cooper. When they finally showed it to Sony in prototype form, the corporation was so impressed that they gave it their stamp of approval and their blessing to continue what Sucker Punch had started. Now, here we are in 2013 with a fourth Sly Cooper game — Thieves in Time — and needless to say, Sly Cooper fans around the world should be thankful for Sanzaru’s daring, albeit flawed, gambit, as it represents a true return to the series they love.
