Battle of Gears and Formulas

Don’t you just love online games?  I know I could never get enough of those.  They come in so handy when I have nothing to do, and my fingers just need a little exercise.  Even if it is just mouse-clicking exercise.  Now there’s another new online game to add to my growing list.  And I was surprised to find out that it comes from the popular site that sells used cars as well as bring us the latest motoring news!

This new game is a question and answer game called Top Gear vs Formula One, with characters of the online game taken from the Top Gear program presenters and also Formula 1 drivers.  I would have loved for the game to have more characters to choose from, but I suppose that would be in the coming enhancements.  As of now, we only have a choice of six.

Yep, all you need to do is to choose a character to represent yourself and then choose another character to represent your opponent.  Then answer a series of questions.  There are only two answers to choose from, so even if you don’t know the answer, just take a guess.  It’s a 50:50 chance of getting it right.  Now, this is where the fun begins 🙂

Once the online referee flags off the game, the questions will be shown to you one by one.  If you answer a question correctly, watch in glee as your nominated character beats upyour opponent! Hehehe…. of course, your character will get beaten up instead if you get the answer wrong.  Each character gets 7 *lives*, so you need to answer 7 questions correctly in order to win.  I really love the animations this game comes with, and it’s so hilarious to see (for example) Michael Schumacher tumble over with stars around his head!  This game is a great stress-buster and the awesome thing about it is that you can just repeat the game unlimited times if you’re not satisfied with the outcome!  Oh, and did I mention it is FREE?
