GameCube Review: The Simpsons - Hit & Run by Deano
An oldy but goody, The Simpsons: Hit & Run was released across all consoles and PC in 2003. It is still worth a look, however, as it brings Springfield to life in GTA-like fashion.

From Howard Dratch:
Since my post of last week, Will Blogging Make You Blind?, was picked, I am allowed to chime in this week. Two honors for the price of one.
It is never easy and these days the quality of articles is improving to keep pace with the quantity. Richard Marcus has been more prolific than ever and courageously open in some of his articles. This week, though, I would single out his Interview with Arlo Guthrie because it was well done and fun and because I was spending the week listening to Arlo and Woody, Pete Seeger and Joan Baez. Thanks, Richard.
Diana Hartman wrote and made a visual assemblage of signs about xenophobia and bigotry for the debate on Immigration and Integration. It cut to the chase and made the point far better than lengthy battles and long-windedness.
