PS3 Owners Offered the First Demo for The Simpsons Game
04 Oct 2007
That's right, folks. You lucky PS3 owners can now pay a visit to the PlayStation Network Store and download the official demo for The Simpsons Game. Yours truly doesn't own a PS3, but something tells me that Xbox 360 owners will be seeing a demo as well. At least I hope so.
Pre-Order Now and Show EA Your Homerballs
23 Sep 2007
Homerball refers to Homer's special turn-into-a-fat-ball-and-crush-things ability from the new Simpsons Game. And when you pre-order the game from select retailers (read: Gamestop), you too can roll like Homer by receiving the Homerball pre-order item.
Wait, it gets better! EA wants to see your Homerballs in action in the form of photographs. Homerball at work, Homerball on a roller coaster, Homerball in your dog's mouth... well, that last one might not be ideal, but you get the point. Check out the Homerball page at ea.com and look around for all the other awesome web pages they've put up for some of the levels from the game.

Last to the Party, But Here I am
30 Aug 2007
You know, it never fails. I head out for a quick vacation and return to a ton of updates about one Simpsons game or another. So without further ado, the new stuff:
Box Covers
That's right! We now have official box covers and confirmation on the title: The Simpsons Game. And in case you're wondering, that wasn't a typo! I did indeed say covers. Each version of The Simpsons Game has a unique cover featuring Homer being mauled by what appears to be enemies from the game, with various other characters in the background. Check 'em out:
Website Update
The official website was recently updated from the Grand Theft Scratchy theme to a new mysterious factory design. One has to wonder how a green slime factory relates to the game... but I suppose we'll find out in a few months.
