Fight Matt Groening to beat The Simpsons

It seems the upcoming The Simpsons video game from Electronic Arts is positively full of surprises. First and foremost, obviously, is that it actually looks pretty good (visually at least). Add to that the news that Matt Groening, creator of television series, will star as the game's final boss (or one of them at least). Groening has stated, according to gamesindustry.biz, "They did a send-up of videogames. It's a videogame about videogames; and I'm in the videogame. I'm a boss that you have to fight at the end of the game." Groening added that he has enjoyed recording his voice for the game. Eager Simpsons fans can get their hands on the game this fall.

2. Oh right, so the last boss of a game isn't a spoiler anymore?

3. Of course I would argue that the Simpson's Arcade game would be a nice bonus feature to have on disc...but why would they give it away free when they can pimp our nostalgia for $5 a blow on XBLA.

Don't pull a TMNT on us...include it for free on disc :D
