Sly Cooper was once an iconic 3D platformer for PlayStation. But its last game came out 11 years ago, and is largely forgotten today. What happened to Sly Cooper?

For the Dreamcast/PS2/Xbox/Gamecube generation the biggest hit for me was Phantasy Star Online... jesus, I dunno how many hours I plugged into that.

Halo of course. I was skeptical until I played a demo, instantly bought in. Project Gotham racing as well.

Eternal Darkness on the Gamecube pulled me in to such a degree I played it through 3 times to see all the endings.

I can't really think of a PS2 title that grabbed my attention like those did.

That's funny, I had this exact experience much more recently when Breath of the Wild was relatively new. I heard so many people raving about how good it was but I was never a huge Zelda guy. Went to Best Buy to window shop, they had a switch on display with BotW queued up. I don't think I even got in to combat before I thought, "ok, this is something special, I need to give this time". Still play it here and there when I'm bored of other games.
