And it isn’t just because you could literally decorate and populate everything in your house with Simpsons themed merchandise. It’s because the show knew just what emotional heartstrings to pull at to make us smile and cry....

Thanks to stealth games, players can take the role of assassins. And thanks to the rather simplistic premise of stealth games, players become free to experiment with their abilities, tools, and the environment to meet their targets. They might have to assassinate someone quietly, interrogate someone, gather intel, or even steal some materials - all without being seen. Or, alternatively, players can systematically kill everyone on sight and proceed to their objective without a fuss....
