It’s a natural step forward to “mobilize” one’s success when you think about it. I’m talking about Top Gear, the famous British TV show about cars, which will soon get its very own mobile game.

Gameloft is the publisher and they promised to deliver “much more than just a racing game.” That being said, you won’t just race different courses around the world, but will also face such challenges as racing against an Apache helicopter, playing darts with a caravan, or playing the car football game.

Jeremy Clarkson himself appears in the game, too, adding his “irreverent, witty sense of humour” to the mix.

As for the racing part, Gameloft secured license for a total of eight cars, including Audi R8, Aston Martin DBS and BMW 135i. Of course, there’s also a “reasonably priced car” in the game – Chevrolet Lacetti.

As far as I can tell, Top Gear mobile game smells like a hit and I’ll certainly try it out, have no doubt about it.

He admits though, he's still searching for the ultimate web-based organizational tool, which "sings" perfectly with the mobile PIM application.
