We've known ever since Asterix and the Class Act that little Gauls are sometimes quite reluctant to go to school. And that only leads to them forgetting the date of the battle of Gergovia when the day of the exam comes around. Pffff…Thankfully, Asterix and his friends have proved for nearly fifty years now that learning can also be fun. Many of us, in fact, can take pride in our extensive knowledge of Latin quotes that we have accumulated through our attentive reading of Asterix albums. It's as simple as that: Asterix albums should replace school books, by Toutatis! The Gauls have moved into second gear with Asterix Brain Trainer, the new Asterix video game for the Nintendo DS. So get your DS stylus ready for a series of more than 20 exercises led by heroes from the Crazy Gauls' Village!  There's no rest for those who seek the wisdom of the druids: multi-player competitions promise to add spice to any light-hearted video game tournaments for Gauls of all ages. And woe betide those whose poor-performing adult brains may be judged to date from 50 BC ;-) |

When Asterix takes some exercise!

Games and contests - Video games
This time, the Queen of queens Cleopatra has taken the time to change into her royal regalia: after all, it isn't every day that you can pull the arrogant mocking figure of Julius Caesar down a peg or two - one of the queen's own subjects, Youssef Sharaf, is among the winners of our February Asterix quiz. As far as Cleopatra's concerned, it's yet more proof that the Egyptian people have a grain of genius!Four other indomitables have also won a copy of the album of the film Asterix at the Olympic Games: Willy Nootens, Catherine Vial, Philippe Jossaud and Nathalie Leroux Vella. Julius Caesar, the good sport that he is, has had to bow down to the superiority of the Egyptian people… However, it has been rumoured that entire Roman legions specially trained with "wiimotes" will be taking part in our March Asterix quiz, which offers you the chance to win Asterix at the Olympic Games video games for the Nintendo Wii. Cleopatra's official interior decorator is already trembling in fear for the Queen of queens' invaluable collection of vases! |

Asterix Quiz competition : videogames to be won !
Games and contests - Video games
For a few months now, the Asterix.com quiz, themed around the release of the Asterix at the Olympic Games film, has enjoyed considerable success. The prizes on offer to the very best Asterix experts - including video games and books of the film - have attracted a large number of participants, much to our delight. But our druids and judges who oversee the strict rules of these quizzes have been aware of some confirmed doping cases, ungainly behaviour from indomitable Asterix fans! Some of them, surely due to an uncontrollable desire to click the mouse, have gone as far as to register dozens of entries in their name in just a few minutes!
It's high time for a reminder: using magic potion to try to improve your chances in the Asterix Quiz is forbidden. These "mouse pirates" can start saying their prayers, as their untimely hijack attempts are doomed to forever end in shipwrecks, by Toutatis! For all the rest of you, our Asterix Quiz is a new chance for you to win the Asterix at the Olympic Games video game, this time for the Nintendo Wii. Up to a million Romans waiting to be confronted in scuffles, a harsh test for even the pros of the "Wiimote"!
