The holidays have to come Springfield this week, with the latest winter-themed title update to The Simpsons: Tapped Out! Players of the popular city-building social game from Electronic Arts can log in today to find that a clerical error has caused it to snow hundreds of gift cards all over the town. And as a result, the amount of holiday cheer has reached an ultimate high (after all, who doesn't love getting a nice Christmas card or two, or two hundred?).All in all, the Tapped Out title update will feature all-new characters that come to Springfield and help spread that good old fashioned holiday cheer, not to mention a bunch of new buildings that are fit for the seasons, and of course, a humorous storyline that "explores the true meaning of the holidays," and is sure to delight both fans of The Simpsons and mobile gamers alike!"The new holiday-themed update is live right now for both iOS and Android versions of The Simpsons: Tapped Out, and is set to run until January 7, 2014. Just make sure you don't leave any delicious cookies and milk out on your table while you play - something tells me they won't last very long with Homer hanging around!
Just in time for those wet and wild summer months, EA All Play has announced that a new update for The Simpsons: Tapped Out has gone live today. This new update, titled "Waterfront," seeks to expand the popular city-building game based on the long-lasting cartoon show with some fun boardwalk-based content.
If you're an Android owner and a Simpsons fan, odds are you missed out on last summer's The Simpsons: Tapped Out when it launched on iOS. Fortunately, after months of excruciating torture, those of us who favor Android gaming are in luck—Tapped Out is now available on Google Play!
Regardless of how you feel about The Simpsons these days, I think we can all agree the show knows how to celebrate the holidays. The annual Treehouse of Horror episodes are the most obvious example, but it would be foolish to dismiss the series' many heartwarming (and hilarious) Christmas episodes. If you've never had the pleasure of seeing one, or simply pine for as much festive content as you can get your mitten-covered hands on, you'll be pleased as Christmas punch to know that The Simpsons: Tapped Out has just received a holiday makeover.
In the quarter-century that The Simpsons have been on television, some of their finest moments have taken place on the "Treehouse of Horror"—an annual Simpsons-esque parody of horror movies, urban legends, Twilight Zone episodes, and other bits of "2spooky" pop culture.
For all of the ups and down EA has had in the world of social games, few releases have managed to garner the kind of instant success that The Simpsons: Tapped Out did. In fact, the success was so overwhelming that EA had to pull it from the App Store because they couldn't handle the server strain.
