'The Simpsons' Hit and Run

Here's a video game that's based on Grand Theft Auto that the kids can actually play. The game takes place in Springfield, where strange things are happening. Just like GTA, it's a mission-based game full of wackiness with Homer as the hero.

'The Simpsons' Game of Life

Pricegrabber.com

I loved the Game of Life when I was a kid. There was something so fun about paying bills and raising kids. (What was I thinking?) This game is much more fun than real life because it takes place in Springfield. Do good deeds and earn money as you go around the board that displays local haunts like the Kwik-E-Mart and the town hall.
