SLACKERJACK: Babble Racing Grand Prix
October 25th, 2006 at 12:30 by Stuart Heritage
Formula One is possibly the dullest sport in the world - who wants to watch a bunch of millionaires start and finish a car race in exactly the same position? And anyway, since the races are all determined by how fast a man can take a wheel off a car and put another one on, couldn't they just do that and leave all the boring crap out?
However, Babble Racing Grand Prix is way better than watching a tedious old race on the TV, since it's small, fast and the most insanely difficult you'll do this calender month. Babble Racing Grand Prix is simple in theory - you race a nippy little car around a track with the arrow keys on your keyboard as fast as you can. But trying to master Babble Racing Grand Prix brings a new meaning to the word 'uphill' as you try and manouver your pudgy fingers quickly enough to keep the car on the track, let alone maintain the best racing line. And then, at the end of each lap, you get to race your own ghost car in a (probably) failed effort to beat you best time. Playing an online game that's as addictive as Babble Racing Grand Prix is a rare thing indeed, so enjoy it you lucky pigs.
