The Simpsons have been on a roll this year. The movie came out, and it was good. But it was EA who had the biggest shock in store for everyone when they showcased the upcoming Simpsons Game. The new game, which will hopefully cleanse us of the past transgressions of Simpsons games, aims to spoof the entire industry. As the Simpsons Movie movie has already done to great effect, EA hopes the new game will do the same. From “Medal of Homer” sections to a “Grand Theft Scratchy” game that bolsters Marge to gather the townsfolk and march on retailers selling the title, you’re in for an experience that only Springfield’s first family can provide.

Speaking of the GTA inspired Scratchy game, it would seem that some shenanigans are taking place over at the website. Maybe someone doesn’t want the denizens of Springfield to enjoy Scratchy smacking hookers and roaming freely around the city. The website has holes in it that reveal something green and glowing, if you hover over the sections you can use a crowbar to get a little better look. It screams radioactivity from the little shown.

I’m not sure how this ties into The Simpsons Game, but we’ve endured weirder marketing schemes. You can take a look for yourself, and then go back to waiting for more info on the actual game. A parody ARG holds as much interest for me as a real one, that being about zero. If anyone could make this interesting it’d be the creative minds behind The Simpsons. Hopefully someone at EA remembers to call them for help on being funny.
