3. Sly Cooper: Thieves In Time - Your Friend Was The Villain All Along
After 3 games of stealthing around and stealing stuff, Sly Cooper and his group up the ante for the 4th game by building a time machine to do some stealthing around to steal some more stuff. However, trouble brews when Penelope is kidnapped, big bad guys start cropping up, and everything in the space-time continuum getting spoiled because of their irresponsible time travel. When Sly faces one of the mandatory big bad bosses near the end of the game, it is revealed that the boss is none other than Penelope. Now, weve got nothing against the betrayal from a friend trope as long as its done well. Sly Cooper though, not so much. With no logic reason or foreshadowing, the reason Penelope betrayed Sly and his group boils down to her thinking that Slys thieving is a bad influence and her own potential is being held back somehow. So it was nothing dramatic, like being forced into betrayal or anything, just a dissatisfaction with life. Thankfully this twist will probably fly over the heads of the targeted demographic for this colourful cartoon game and they wont have to dwell on just how stupid it actually is.
My life story is nothing special. I haven't cured ebola, I'm nowhere near stopping terrorism, and I'm still working on that climate change problem.
Instead, all I've done so far is put a few hundred words together in an attempt to make people laugh.
You can follow me at @Fry_ying_pan but don't be offended if I don't tweet back. It's usually because I've spent too long trying to think up a witty response that the reply window has closed.
