The Simpsons and Gaming
The Simpsons and Gaming
By: Cam
Over the, what, fifteen years since the Simpsons started, creator
Matt Groening had made games about the yellow, dysfunctional family. It started
of with GameBoy Pocket and Super Nintendo and all the other old gaming stations
and has now come to computers, PlayStation® 2, XBOX® and GameCube®. Games like the recently
released Hit and Run are excellent and so are the old ones, example: Bart and
the Beanstalk and Itchy and Scratchy Mini Golf, but I wonder if they ever thought
of releasing a platform Simpsons game just about life in Springfield. For example,
in Hit and Run you have your various missions, cards, gags and levels plus every
other thing I accidentally forgot to write. It's entertaining and fun but what
about everything the Simpsons and other Springfield citizens do everyday. Don't
you think it would be fun just being a Simpson and doing everyday Springfield
stuff. I'm hoping that one day Matt Groening and other Simpsons game organizers
will see reason to put a game like that out. But what do you want in a game?
If you were one of the game organizers, what would you make the game about?
Another one like Hit and Run, although that is getting a little repetitive since
Hit and Run and Road Rage seem alot like each other. Maybe the game writers
are losing ideas as well. Maybe all the people writing and making the Simpsons
are running out of ideas. It's a terrible, shocking thought, but it could just
be true. I personally love Hit and Run but I still noticed it was too much like
road rage. Again, the show and game freaks will not so much be freaks any more
unless the shows brings back it's quality. If we're talking about the show,
I'd say the earlier the season, the better the season. As for the games, well
there are good ones and bad ones sprinkled throughout the releases. Also, I
don't believe there are enough games out. But, if they really are running out
of ideas, how can they release more? I'll leave you to think about gaming
in the form of Simpsons. I'll leave you to ponder the topic.
I hope you've enjoyed the editorial
