The Simpsons: Tapped Out. iOS/Android?

Hey guys, long time no type.

So I'm not that busy or preoccupied as I type this, so I figured I'd type a little blog post up while I was  thinking about it  inspiration; read a great post my best friend Ari wrote. Enjoy, feedback appreciated!

Simpsons Tapped Out is a new(ish) game set in the town Springfield, which we should all know is home to the Simpsons. The Simpsons is a show that I've always grown up with. I've watched it for as long as I can remember, my Mum always hated it but thanks to my dad and my brother and sister also loving the show, we always won when we wanted to watch it.

The game starts with a cinematic of Homer asleep at work (hardly a novelty) and the technical thingy-ma-bobs he is regularly surrounded by are beeping and sirens are screaming all over, unable to hear this Homers ill practice causes the power plant and the whole of Springfield to blow up. Causing all the buildings, businesses and residents to be destroyed or lost (buildings destroyed and residents lost, just to clarify)

With only Lisa and Homer left in Springfield it is you, the players, job to rebuild Springfield. When you raise enough money to build a new lot you will unlock and find more characters/residents which are connected to the building. With each new lot you place and build you will be able to use its character to do activities around your ever expanding town to gain more XP to level up, thus unlocking more places to build. And more money, to pay for new places.

You can add friends who also play the game and are then able to visit their Springfield, where you are given the option to rake three benefits a day, each will give you money and XP. So the more friends you have the more rewards you get.

Totally free to play game and super addictive, it's 8/10 from me guys.
