Perusing a fresh batch of screenshots is like turning over a new page in a book. A comic book. An Asterix comic book. See the connection building here? The super-strong Gaul adds a bit more credit to his name with these latest images from Asterix Brain Trainer, as the overall game design begins to take shape.Playing as the young apprentice Justforkix, Asterix himself gives you a map of the village -- and hopefully the ability to move about freely. Several new characters are shown, including Chief Vitalstatistix and the blacksmith, Fulliautomatix. Cheeky humor is commonplace in Asterix lore, so anything less than hilarious will seem like a disappointment. The gameplay interface could be similar to the superb Professor Layton, and there's certainly no shame coming close. Give us complex, intelligent puzzles to complement all things Asterix and this might be enjoyable after all.

Asterix is one of the biggest badasses in comic book history. For those of you in the dark, buy this and go from there. There's no excuse, just scrounge up whatever money you can and start reading.
