HD Collections are impeccably hit or miss. There’s seemingly no in-between. You’re either a beautiful looking contemporary reminder of a timeless classic with high definition bells and whistles attached or, you’re a poorly re-conceived recycled dud. Silent Hill HD Collection – you know who you are. Thankfully, where third party publishers appear to stutter and fumble, Sony appear to have nailed the HD compilation hypothesis. With Sly, Jak & Daxter, ICO and a handful of other classic first party PS2 series already making a very welcome jump to HD on PS3, Ratchet and Clank and their freshman PS2 efforts were always going to appear on a Blu-ray slapped “HD” at some stage. Thankfully for you and I, the transition to PS3 is another HD success for Sony and a wonderful reminder of how great the original adventures of everyone’s favourite Lombax and his mechanical companion were back in the day.
