Phil Keoghan's Gaming Gaffe: Simpsons Hit and Run on PSP?

0:00What's up, I'm Corey, and these are your entertainment and celebrity headlines. Phil Keelgan recently shared his love for gaming during an interview. He mentioned owning a PSP and playing the Simpsons hit and run on it. He also said he's a big fan of Pokémon FireRed. These are classic titles, but fans quickly spotted a problem with his story. The issue came down to one key fact. The Simpsons hit and run never released for the PSP. It was a game console hit back in the early 2000s, but only for other systems, like PlayStation 2 and GameCube. Pokémon FireRed did come out around that time for Game Boy Advance. Fans lit up social media right away, especially on X. Many called him out as a fraud for naming a game that didn't exist on PSP. Others mocked him with comments like being a big gamer who only knows 20-plus-year-old titles. Some gamers went further and challenged him to prove his skills. They asked him to name more recent games or favorites from today. The backlash grew fast, with plenty of annoyed reactions from the gaming community.
