Ranking PlayStation's IP (Part I) | Sacred Symbols+, Episode 436

It's me, Colin. In search of a new episode of Sacred+ this week, we accidentally stumbled into at least two. That's because we -- myself, Dustin, and Brad -- bit off a little more than we could chew, albeit serendipitously. Thus, we present to you the first of a two-part episode dedicated to the ranking of Sony-owned PlayStation IP from both first and second party, from the very beginning of the PSone era to today. The only rule here is that Sony must own the game or franchise in question (so, no Crash or Spyro), though it doesn't matter if Sony itself owns the developer that made it (so, Uncharted is fine, but so too is Heavenly Sword). Yet, as we got into this exercise, we realized there was a whole lot more to dissect than we anticipated. So instead of rushing and half-assing it, we thought we'd go slowly and deliberately, split things in half, and post a follow-up in the coming weeks. For now, enjoy the opening salvo of our herculean task: Giving every PlayStation IP a letter grade, from S to F. Certainly, this won't be contentious in the least!
