Did you know that licensed games can often be bad? It’s true! While you pick yourself off up the floor, it’s time for me to prove that the PlayStation 2 actually had quite a few licensed games that were some of the best games on the system. The Simpsons: Hit & RunMe not mention Hit & Run? That’s unpossible. The Simpsons’ history with video games has been spotty at best.

I mean, one half of me is like "oh boy, here I go playing Gears again". The other half is wondering where the remasters of 2 & 3 are. We already had Gears 1 Ultimate Edition, 2 & 3 deserved more love.
