The Simpsons Game

EA have gone above and beyond the call of duty by offering those with defective Rock Band controllers a free game with their fix. The once unfortunate sods now get to choose the game of their liking from 14 EA titles. And they aren’t the crap you find at the bottom of the bargain bin either, but recent titles like Skate, The Simpsons Game and even another copy of Rock Band (no controllers though).

Those wanting to get in on the generosity will have to head over to this site by January 11th. Check after the jump for a full list of games.

It seems the developers of The Simpsons game at EA are still very much bitter, as came to the fore in their appearance on Game Head. Here is Executive producer, Matt Selman‘s take on the events:

The game begins with Bart wanting to play a game called Grand Theft Scratchy. Of course this is a parody of Grand Theft Auto. And Marge immediately takes it away from him. She tries to clean up the town and stop the game from being distributed in Springfield because Marge is against video game violence. She uses horrific violence to stop video game violence… in a video game. Thats called irony… The people who make Grand Theft Auto, they spazzed out like little babies.
