The agreement also includes publishing Buffy the Vampire Slayer on the Xbox. Financial terms of the deal were not disclosed. ``EA is pleased to extend our current publishing relationship with Fox Interactive to a worldwide scale and have such pop culture icons as The Simpsons, Aliens and Buffy the Vampire Slayer under our publishing umbrella,'' said Tom Frisina, Electronic Arts Vice President of Distribution. ``We look forward to leveraging our global distribution strength to maximize exposure for these quality titles.''

The player controls a squad of well-equipped United States Colonial troops. The Simpsons Road Rage is an action racing title with a full Simpsons storyline. Set in the town of Springfield, this new game blends Simpsons wiht racing to create a funny arcade-style racing game. The title is slated to ship this fall on both the PlayStation 2 console and Xbox. Buffy the Vampire Slayer is a single-player, third-person action horror game based on the television series. Players take on the role of Buffy Summers, a typical high school student by day and a fierce destroyer of the undead by night. The game also features characters and plots based on the TV show's third season. The game is slated to ship on Xbox in 2002.
