Following through the night event held by Electronic Arts after their announcement of a new Simpsons game (still a working title), we were treated earlier to a little verbal illustration of what we could expect from the game. While this title has been announced for the PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, Wii, PSP, PS2 and DS, it seems IGN pegs this game to be also coming to Simpsons fans on the PC.

Now we've got a very short visual snippet of what's coming for the game, straight from the writing staff, including The Simpsons' creator Matt Groening. In the game development team's bet to make this new title "not just another Simpsons game, but 'The Simpsons game,'" they have put a lot of work into making sure the game will entice new and old Simpsons fans alike.

With just a few short seconds of gameplay coverage in the video, at least we can put some pictures to words that Kotaku's Brian Crecente has penned. Spoofs of games (see if you can spot and name a few shown in the video immediately below) are just a few of the laughs we're expecting from this new installment.

this makes me happy i bought a PS3 for myself... cause with all the good games in line i won't be able to get some quality time to play my sports games... let my kids play the games like the Simpson (which by the way looks fun... i'll definitely get this) and Little Big Planet on their PS3... i'll be cutting people's heads off on my PS3 with Heavenly Sword while waiting for the PS3 big guns coming out in 2008!!!

Could be cool

Wow sounds like they are adding some interesting things for the Wii too. Hopefully it isn't utter ***** like most other tv/movie games.
