Arguably the best Simpsons game to date (at least in the non-beat-'em-up category), The Simpsons: Hit & Run blends the action of a Grand Theft Auto sandbox game with writing and voice talent from the still popular show. You play as various characters, drive a number of vehicles, find hidden collectibles, battle robot wasps and play through a storyline worthy of the TV series.
And, as a bonus, the game comes with a Simpsons collectible trading card. (It's sealed, so you'll be the first to know which one!)
Here's how to enter and boost your odds with up to 4 chances to win this classic PC game:
- Enter a comment here, as usual. That's all you really NEED to do.
- Tweet the following on Twitter: Win The Simpsons: Hit & Run at BusyGamerNews.com, home of the Busy Gamer Podcast: RT + Enter here: http://bit.ly/kEZHCB #bgnfsf
- Review (or re-review) our Busy Gamer Podcast on iTunes.
- Review (or re-review) the Best of Busy Gamer Podcast on iTunes. This is a short audio highlights feed with our reviews, audio tours and other timeless bits!
If you do 2, 3 and/or 4 (and why wouldn't you?), you do need to let us know your Twitter/iTunes name(s) in your comment so we can find, verify and include your bonus entries in the drawing and match them up to contact you if one of them wins.
If we can't confirm the bonus entry and easily tell who you are on Twitter and/or iTunes, the bonus entry is disqualified.
You DO have to enter a comment here and follow the other rules to be eligible:
Simply post a comment on this page. (You can do the other things listed above if you want to earn some extra chances to win.) Say whatever is on your mind as long as it's not an ad or profane. Be sure to read the Sweepstakes Rules to ensure you are eligible to win and don't get disqualified by double-posting or forgetting to provide an e-mail address.
NOTE: If you play for extra chances on Twitter or by posting podcast reviews on iTunes, you still have to enter here AND let us know your Twitter and/or iTunes names so we can match you up. iTunes ratings alone do not count since we can't see who posted them, so add or update a comment! If you already posted an iTunes review, you can still update your review once a week for a bonus entry in each week's giveaway. Just log in to iTunes and click Write a Review; it should load your existing review and let you modify it. Make a change (even a small one) and then check to ensure that it appears on top with the new date or it won't count!
You may also want to white list this domain; we've had MANY would-be winners lose out because they never responded to their prize notification! If you use TypeKey/TypePad, be sure your e-mail address will be shared. No e-mail address, no prize. (Don't worry, no one else will see it - and we'll only use it to contact you if you win.)
Note that unless you're an authenticated poster who has been active on the site and marked as trusted, your comment will NOT appear immediately. It will go into a queue for me to approve, which I'll do several times a day (except the first weekend, where comments may not be approved until sometime late on Sunday). Do NOT double-post. We'll extend the entry period for this until 8:01 p.m. Pacific Time on Wednesday, July 6 to ensure you have plenty of time to enter and verify your entry was posted.
We also sometimes give away unannounced Instant Win prizes and podcast extras. Here are a few tips since this can happen at any time (and we've got another one coming soon!). 1) Follow Gamewatcher on Twitter. Before we post the next Instant Win, we'll give you a fair warning tweet. 2) Subscribe to our RSS feed and set it to check for updates frequently.
We continue to stock up on cool goodies for Free Stuff Friday - and we will keep doing so as long as there's enough response, even if we continue to lose money on this site. So tell your friends about this! Hey, if we get bigger, so will the prizes that YOU could win! While you're at it, post comments wherever you see something interesting. Also, if you get a game code you don't need or have some other cool game-related prize you want to donate, we'd be very grateful (we pay for much of this stuff ourselves!).
Don't have a cow man!
I asked for this game for Christmas back in the day. There was a mix up and I got Simpsons Road Rage instead. Not a terrible game but I always wanted to play Hit and Run...

HAPPY FIRST OF JULY
Today is Canada’s Celebration!
What a day it is! I have seen the Canadian way through my Roman Catholic and Holy Baptised view! A, man I heard wrote a tremendous hour of America’s celebration; in, a rare and moving statement to World Nation; (The World); the President 80 of the American Party of Unionism; that helped foster and forester recognition to the Holy Baptized and Holy Confirmed Catholic Humans; stated with no malice: “I am a free man. An American, a United States Senator and a Democrate, in that order. I am also a (L)iberal, a (C)onservative, a (TEXAN), a (T)axpayer, a (R)ancher, a (B)usiness (M)an, a (C)osumer, a (P)arent, a (V)oter!”
In “A Time For Action;” is rare; too! Please read Mr. President Lyndon Brice Johnson’ Story!
Military is this man’s way!~ and is the fight for Independence; has any First Lady lead no War for the freedom of every Holy Baptized and Holy Confirmed Human?
On, the morning; near to the Confederation of Canadian nation I and all Roman Catholics never always fight and win war for the Nation!
What is a hero? A, hero or heroine; as adzed; means Catholic and only Warrior in win by the Funk & Wagnalls Standard! In, a rare book written on the Boers Wars; by the English non participating in any know religion and all Roman Catholic; Mr. Edgar Rice Burroughs; clearly printed by the Queen of Ireland in Dublin Print; reads by so: “But, at, last the lion’s patience was snapped …”.
It sod must lay clean: Jacob; Verse Nine; Ident Two: “He Had no wait must ease for (M)other’s say: translation; natural mother is the best pick for the off-spring!!
Canada I would remarry my separated wife again and pilsner together with more friends attending; life is what you make of it I heard. I made life by being Roman Catholic clean and loving only my son, daughter, wife and mother! The funny is wealth. A nice friend some times told me “students want ever-thing handed to them on a silver platter. Mine dine with my purple blooded family; In fact my mother raised my entirely in Edmonton, Alberta since the second Sputnik-7 was launched!
As for the word God (reversed); Dog is the real friend for many men; including me and my son who as ‘growl;’ when we are hungry!. I grew up with these hair paws in fact five younger brothers in heart; one guinea pig, one hamster, one cat, one rabbit and two fish. My wife and daughter pal with two cats; and a cat is tact that means cunning; and in German early, a woman well adorned!
That’s my wife!

You can run but you can't glide. That game is all mine. Thanks BGN.
