The
first
wave
of
PlayStation’s
newly
emulated
PS2
classics
have
arrived
on
PSN
today,
acting
as
heralds
for
what
will
hopefully
be
a
massive
catalogue
of
classic
titles.
That
is,
of
course,
assuming
that
these
new
games
perform
better
than
Sony’s
last
attempts
to
bring
PS2
titles
to
their
modern
machines.

Sly
Cooper
and
the
Thievius
Raccoonus
(called
Sly
Raccoon
here
in
the
UK),
Tomb
Raider:
Legend
and
Star
Wars:
The
Clone
Wars
are
available
right
now
in
Europe,
although
America
might
have
wait
a
little
longer.
All
three
boast
some
quality
of
life
improvements
like
being
able
to
rewind,
save
states
and
upscaled
graphics.

And
as
an
added
bonus,
all
three
also
have
full
trophy
support
including
Platinums.

However,
there
is
one
small
hiccup:
the
pricing
is
all
over
the
damn
place.
Here
in
the
UK,
Sly
Raccoon
will
cost
you
£7.99,
while
Star
Wars:
The
Clone
Wars
comes
in
at
£3.99.
Tomb
Raider:
Legend
is
the
outlier,
costing
an
obscene
£15.99.
You
can
currently
pick
it
up
for
less
than
£1
on
GoG
for
PC.

The
high
pricing
likely
comes
down
to
the
rights
holder
which
is
currently

Amazon
if
the
reports
are
accurate.

If
you
don’t
fancy
buying
them
a
la
carte,
a
PlayStation
Plus
Premium
subscription
will
net
you
access
to
these
three
games
plus
all
the
other
titles
in
the
classic
catalogue.
