It was only last year that Sly 2 hit store shelves (try saying that fast three times) and wowed us with its cell-shaded graphics and lovable characters.

The robbin' raccoon and his boys are back in town for one last heist in this third installment that boasts 3-D graphics (yes, you have to wear the silly glasses) and a wide array of new abilities and features, including more cooperative gameplay. It's worth noting that you can choose whether to play a level in 3-D or not.

Fans of the series are in for more of the charming, never-get-bored goodness that is Sly, but if you're looking for huge challenges, the difficulty level of Sly 3 may be a bit easy for some.
