QJ.NET got a tip the other day from reader Unicorn about a homebrew game created by Neo_Ace. It was originally coded in Spanish and is known as Hey!! Mirame!! v1.0. Since it was publicly released though, it has been renamed to Hey! Look at Me! v1.0 to accommodate English-speaking PlayStation Portable owners.

Anyway, Neo_Ace mentioned that the idea behind this particular creation was borrowed from D3Publisher's retail game Work Time Fun. Basically, Hey! Look at Me! features a face wherein we can place different kinds of eyes. Then we can control these eyes (make them wink and look left and right) by pressing the proper buttons.

Some of the different eyes that can be found in this version include that of Homer Simpson's, a kitten's, and a Chinese woman's among others. Neo_Ace also gave word that more features will be implemented in future versions.

First off, if you hate spoilers, you have no business reading the succeeding paragraphs. Just back away from this one, read another QJ article and be completely happy playing this nice title. Skipping this one won't ruin your life, we assure you.

Still reading? Don't say we didn't warn you. If you haven't bought The Simpsons yet but are planning to, you'll either be real happy or real pissed with what you'll find out. This is your last chance to back off.

 

Destructoid reports that EA gave them a spoiler of sorts regarding this title. It turns out that there's a Wolfenstein level hidden in the game which can be unlocked. For the uninitiated, Castle Wolfenstein was one of the fathers of FPS and is certainly an icon of modern gaming.

Destructoid explains "in the Medal of Homer stage, Bart and Homie are hired to steal white flags from a town trying to surrender so that they can get firebombed. However, if you put your chores aside and transform into Bartman and fly across the channel you can snake around an abandoned warehouse and find the hidden area. Smash a few boxes out of your way and you'll find a door to Duffenstein, a replica of the great old-school FPS Castle Wolfenstein."

So there you have it. If you feel like revisiting the old school, The Simpsons will give you a chance to get some nostalgic treats. Otherwise, just enjoy the game and the nice movie, too. The Simpsons is available on Sony PlayStation 3, Nintendo Wii, Microsoft Xbox 360, Nintendo DS and Sony PSP owners everywhere.

 

If you're a big fan of The Simpsons like most of the QJ blogging team, you'll definitely want to take look at these ten screenshots from the game. Why? Because it looks to be very accurate to the source material, and will induce quite a few chuckles from those who get the referrences.

Most of those who have been following this game know that they've included spoofs on more popular games such as:

• God of Wharf

In addition to the above, they've even included a pretty big twist in their choice of a final boss.
