Asterix May Quiz: the results

Games and contests - The official asterix.com website

Veni, vidi, vici! Five indomitable Gauls called on their Latin to triumph in our Asterix May Quiz. They each win a copy of Asterix and the Falling Sky in the language of Caesar.
They are: Marie DENIS, Anne MOURGUE, Sébastien VAN GORP, Jonas SABLE and Robert FLEURY.
The answers to this fearsome quiz, as validated in person by the very authors of the Roman leader’s speeches: Pegleg, Panem and Circenses – Veni, vidi, vici - Gnôthi seauton – Exlibris.
It certainly wasn’t easy, but you can brush up your skills this month with a new Asterix Quiz, and, right after Asterix in Latin, a new Asterix album to win - this time it’s the Asterix Grand Collection version of Asterix and the Secret Weapon.
Good luck!

The Tournament of the Indomitable: 3rd round

The official asterix.com website

A major event in the Gaulish sporting season, the Tournament of the Indomitable is absolutely unique!
Just think about it: if you want to win the Asterix Tournament of the Indomitable, you not only need to have a nice touch, but you have to prove that you’re able to win on any surfaces.
As a matter of fact, after two rounds playing on Lutecian clay, the 3rd round of this 2007 Edition now begins on Britons’ grass courts.
It’s no surprise then, that great players have already been defeated. Look at Beefix, from Belgium: top-seed n°4, he looked as if he was invincible. Well… That was before he encountered Toon, the shrinking violet from far away Tadsilweny, who seems to have a lot of fun with Gaulish customs.
A bad day for our Belgian friends, to be sure, as Brawnix was defeated by Postaldistrix. There as been no such bad surprises for our heroes’ families: Asterix, Obelix, Astronomix, Obeliscoidix and Sarsaparilla have all made it through to the next round! Just like Chanticleerix, now doing his best against Edifis, in what promises to be a thrilling game. Get voting!
And to learn everything about almost all characters still in the game, check out our EncyclObelix, the encyclopaedia of Asterix characters.

A new video Game Asterix at the Olympic Games announced!

Video games

Great news from Lugdunum (Lyon, in Gaul): a new Asterix video game, Asterix at the Olympic Games, is scheduled for release this coming winter!
The game of the forthcoming live action feature film of the same name, Asterix at the Olympic Games blends live action elements from the film with high quality computer generated and video game animation to deliver fans an extraordinary and unique Asterix experience.
In Asterix at the Olympic Games players can choose from three playable characters, Asterix, Obelix and Dogmatix, in an original story which takes a parallel course to the film and the comic-book. Our heroes must stop Brutus who has opened the gates between the worlds of the comic book, the film and the game while still finding time and energy to triumph at the Olympic Games themselves. The mini-game mode lets players compete in Olympic challenges with their chosen character, while two-player multiplayer lets friends go head to head in a series of hilarious contests.
Until the release of the video game Asterix at the Olympic Games, scheduled for this coming winter on PlayStation®2, Nintendo DS™, Wii and PC, Pepe suggests you have a look at the already incredible Asterix video games Museum.
