Series aliens Kang and Kodos play a role in this, but we don't wish to give the entire plot away.
It all has to do with Buzz Cola being used as a mind-control beverage by aliens who wish to drive the yellow-folks mental for the reality show Foolish Earthlings. Soon after, robotic wasps plague the city and Lisa Simpson takes it upon herself to find Bart using various clues presented in the game via missions. A tongue in cheek take on Grand Theft Auto 3, the game saw Bart Simpson being abducted by what appears to be an alien tractor beam. One of the most fun and frustrating racing games ever to grace the planet in one VG247 staffer's opinion. The Simpsons: Hit and Run - PS3, GameCube, Xbox - 2003 Someone needs to find out who owns the IP and get to it. If LucasArts even owned the IP to begin with: Bigpoint Games acquired Planet Moon staff in 2011, but the deal didn't include the intellectual properties or other assets. The only hope for such a thing to occur would be a licensing agreement with a third-party developer – eg. Unfortunately, a digital re-release may never happen, as the rights of the game were owned by LucasArts, and with Disney holding all IP from the firm, it's doubtful the House of Mouse would devote resources to such a project. It would swim around in the ground and eat your enemies. The most memorable was the Land Shark Gun which the player would use to shoot a miniature shark into the earth.

It also featured a stellar voice cast with actor Brian George (Seinfeld, The Big Bang Theory) as the hero Roman, as well as prolific voice over artists Jeff Bennett, John Mariano, Pat Fraley, and Tony Jay. Released by LucasArts, the shooter parodied other video games and films such as Star Wars and Monty Python and the Holy Grail. Released in 2003, the Planet Moon Studios-developed title was not only a really well made third-person action adventure game, but it was well funny too.

And those of us who were able to indulge in previous generation titles can't seem to get them to look proper on our large, flat-screen TVs. Xbox 360 was backwards compatible with some original Xbox games, but not all: the list of supported titles varied by region.ĭue to this, there are many games out there the current-generation of gamers missed out on.
SYPHON FILTER FOR PC GAME PS3
The original PlayStation 3 was backwards compatible with the PS2 library, but successive models of PS3 added or removed various features, including backwards compatibility.
