The Simpsons Meet Grand Theft Auto
Itchy the Killer writes "FiringSquad previews The Simpsons Hit & Run (XBox, PS2, GameCube), which is a strange marriage of The Simpsons and Grand Theft Auto. They seemed to think that it works." A lot of times when games are made based on huge pre-existing franchises, they suck so bad mankind is forced to redefine the boundaries of suckiness. That said, this game actually looks like I would play it, which says a lot.
I'm looking forward to something like this on the GameCube. Perhaps now I can get rid of my PS2...

A Brazilian man who considered an inflatable puppet his "bride" killed his parents because they demanded he divorce her and damaged the toy, media reports said today.
The 44-year-old unemployed man apparently confessed to the crime, which occurred on Saturday, after a long interrogation by police in a suburb of Sao Paulo city, a police spokesman said.
"The man thought the doll was a human being, called her his bride and talked to her," an acquaintance of the family was quoted as saying.
But his parents, who were religious, demanded he separate from the doll.
When the mother took scissors and cut holes in the man's "bride", the man strangled and stabbed his father, age 70, and mother, age 71.
"My parents didn't love me and didn't understand me," the man was quoted as saying.
I really hate Dan Patrick.
