The Simpsons Arcade game was a fond childhood memory. And Hit and Run was another fantastic game. Most of the rest are meh.

Virtual Springfield is my favorite Simpsons game. It was a point and click adventure title that served as a living fangasm.

I also played Simpsons Tapped Out for about 3 years but had to stop because even with a cracked version, it was getting too much with the micromanagement. Would love it if it was a game to buy without the phone microtransactions.

SegaGamer1960d ago

The Simpons Hit & Run, Virtual Bart and The Simpsons Game are my top 3. EA have killed Simpsons games though, they are just sitting on that crappy mobile game.

I remember renting Hit and Run and thinking it was so different than advertised. In a good way! Wasn’t expecting an open world Springfield GTA mashup.

Lego Dimensions’ Springfield deserves an honourable mention. If you’re a fan it’s worth hunting down the map and some toons.

I think i played the arcade game on an arcade machine, other than that my first one to actually own was on my first PC, Virtual Springfield.. I think i meant to buy Simpsons cartoon studio or whatever it was called, but i think Argos replaced it with Virtual Springfield, it turned out to be quite funny if not much else. Hit & Run was of course really good. If there's a remake I'd like a bit bigger world with more missions and side stuff though.

Pretty sure i rented Krusty's Fun House, what a pain in the ass of frustration that was.

I really enjoyed The DS version of The Simpsons Game. And I agree everything you wrote about it ;)

TheSanchezDavid1959d ago

I definitely feel like it was an underappreciated gem and was overlooked on account of the console versions.

Protagonist1959d ago (Edited 1959d ago )

I actually got the PS3 version: but never got around to play it, so I still got to make an opinion about that one. Still agree though about the DS version being a great game.

aNYWAY hAPPY nEW yEAR!

The Simpsons Hit and Run desperately needs a sequel.

Video Games That Will Never Release Again

Some games you just know are going to stand the test of time, being released and re-released multiple times over the years, or will simply have a legacy that’s built to endure. Meanwhile, there are other games that, for whatever reason, are simply never coming back.

Aye..this is why Emulation is important.

The Punisher was soo damn good. Nailed Garth Ennis take on the character very well. For me still one of the best comic book adaptions ever made.

neutralgamer1992129d ago

Punisher and Simpsons both should get remakes. That's easy money for whoever does it

Demetrius129d ago

I might have to order punisher for my ps2 soon, I watched gameplay it looks good

Terry_B129d ago

If you like the character, even read some of the comics you might like the game a lot. It was an excellent third person shooter with many nice ideas that fit Frank and even had a nice story full with characters from the Garth Ennis run

Where is NOLF!
That they couldn’t find a way to work out the legal stuff to bring it back is one of the greatest tragedies in gaming history.

JunonZanon129d ago

A Hit and Run remake or even remaster would be dope.

-Foxtrot129d ago

Especially if they create one giant expanded map over hubs.

TricksterArrow129d ago

Def Jam. Great and fun game they will never be re-released. There is just no way to secure all the copyrights for the tracks, voices and likenesses used in this game.

Knushwood Butt129d ago

You can stream Heavenly Sword via PS Plus Premium.

hiawa23128d ago

Streaming PS3 games to PS5 is not good which is why my PS3 is still connected. I hope you know that, but thanks for chiming in.

Knushwood Butt119d ago

Well, I played through the campaign of Resistance 3 via streaming and it was pretty good.

hiawa23128d ago

And before someone states the obvious of streaming PS3 games to PS5. Um, no, streaming PS3 games is pretty bad.
