Sly Cooper-based arcade game collection Bentley's Hackpack is now out on Android

Bentley's Hackpack is a collection of three different retro-ish arcade games set in the Sly Cooper universe.

In each of these three games, you're bumming around an arcade, dropping coins and trying to complete the 20 levels.

The games all feature in Sly Cooper: Thieves in Time, and have already been released on PSN and iOS. Now, though, it's out for Android, too.

Sparky

Spark Runner is a tilty maze game in which you lead a jolt of electricity around a circuit board, grabbing science-y power-ups and trying to get to the end before the clock runs down.

Then, there's Alter Ego, a side-scrolling shooter in the R-Type mould. Here, you have to weave through a spiky level filled with gun turrets, bubble-based obstacles, and attachments that make your blaster even more powerful.

Last but not least, there's System Cracker, a nearly top-down twin-stick shooter set in a neon world that's all about getting from 'A' to 'B' while shooting as many things as you can.

None of the games is particularly original, but they're all reasonably playable. The weakest link is probably System Cracker (on account of its flappy controls).

Still, you're essentially getting three games for the price of one. And in today's tough economic climate, that's a deal not to be sniffed at.

Bentley's Hackpack is live on the Google Play Store now. You get the first three levels of each game for nowt. If you like what you see, you can splash out £1.99 / $2.99 to unlock the rest.
