With the increase in playable characters and expanded multiplayer for gamers, Sly 3 succeeds as the latest title in the Cooper franchise quite admirably. While the 3D gimmick comes across as somewhat cool at first, it's ultimately taxing on the eyes of the player, and the reduced difficulty level might put off some people. However, the storyline and voice acting are just as solid as the other Sly titles, and provides another worthy chapter in the life of these engaging characters.

What we said about it:
The story contained in this title is brilliant; truly an A-list attempt at expanding on the plot of a feature film, instead of just capitalizing on it as most games based on movies tend to do. You get to know more about these goons than the film could ever convey, and even though none of them are particularly likable you will develop empathy for them and their plight throughout the course of the game. If the parts written for the game were somehow retroactively infused into the film, you could have a powerful twelve-hour miniseries, and a damned good one at that.
Stubbs the Zombie is built with the Halo engine. It says that right on the front of the package. Is that why you should try Stubbs the Zombie? Maybe, but I'll give you two better reasons: imaginative gameplay and a brilliant sense of humor. The main downside is how short the game is. With a price tag of $49.99 USD, brevity is a tough pill to swallow. So what do I recommend? Rent it or wait for the price to come down a little. Do that and you're sure to have a blast kicking ass and taking brains.
