The Simpsons: Hit & Run video game holds a dear place in the hearts of many gamers, so it's tragic news to hear that the game could have spawned a series of entries. The team at Radical Entertainment has been given the go-ahead to license the rights to The Simpsons for three installments completely free of charge from the team at Gracie Movies. The team was delighted to hear the news, and then out of nowhere “some crazy person at the publisher (Vivendi Games) – we never found out who – said no,” says Joe McGinn, lead designer of The Simpsons: Hit & Run.
