The Simpsons: Tapped Out has taken over my life.

A feature about free-to-play, freemium, mobile games. Specifically, The Simpsons: Tapped Out and why it's brilliant.

You have no soul.

Yes yes it has

I was getting pretty obsessed with the game before I decided to cheat, it turned out to be a great idea because once I got access to everything (unlimited donuts and money) there was nothing more to do and I stopped playing all together.

It was a really good idea in the end.

LOL saved my life too! These free to play games are rarely enjoyable...

[crofterz]

Hahaha! That's one way to look at it.

[crofterz]

I totally understand why you did that because when I started playing it was right at the start of the latest Halloween event so I haven't progressed as much as you normally would. And I did notice myself getting a little frustrated with that lack at progression and starting to look at how to cheat the game and quicken things up. So I can empathize with you completely.

I really hate freemium games with a passion, but I play Tapped Out since its release (and have already spent some money on it). The thing is: I love the Simpsons, and I treat it like a small aquarium full of Simpsons characters.

I know, I know...you can punch me in the face now.

[crofterz]

Haha! No, I totally agree. Like I said in the piece.. they utilize The Simpsons universe so well and you can tell that it's been made and supported by people who are genuine fans of the series.

Been playing since launch, usually these kind of games die quick but they have done a really good job with the updates and you even get events that tie in with the shows before they are shown.

[crofterz]

Yes! It's brilliant isn't it? They always seem to be updating it constantly too which is nice.

[crofterz]

Reading all the comments above has made me feel much better about myself hahaha! At least I'm not the only one still playing it,
