Android app Review: CSR Racing


 CSR Racing is a Drag Racing game available for free download in Google play. It is easy to play since there is no steering involved. There are only keys needed while Racing: accelerate, decelerate and nitro. 





There are 5 Tier. You would need to beat the crew members before challenging the Crew leader. To advance, you would need to beat the Crew Leader thrice. There are other types of races as well: Restriction, Manufacturer, Car Specific, daily battle, ladder and Regulation.





Restriction races would require for your car to meet a certain criteria like minimum weight to qualify for the race. Manufacturer races would require a car from a specific car manufacturer. For Daily Battles, a car would be loaned to you. The would be three races daily. Car specific would require a specific to be able to qualify for this type of race. Ladder would require a car of same Tier Level. For Regulation, there are three modes: rookie, amateur and pro. You may use any cars for the regulation races. However it would be difficult to win races if you use a lower Tier level car in higher level Tier regulation races. Race distance is either 1/4 mile or 1/2 Mile.

You could also purchase upgrades. You could upgrade your gear box, engine, Turbo, Nitrous, Intake, Body and Tire. If you buy imported parts (which are normally stage 4 or 5 car parts), you would have to wait for it to be delivered. But if you have gold coins, you could waived the delivery time. 

You could purchase car from Manufacturers like Audi, BMW, Chevrolet, Ford, Mini, Nissan, Pagani, Bentley, Dodge and Mclaren.  

You could purchase cars or car parts with cash of gold coins. You could earn cash by winning races. Gold coins could be gain when you level up, beat crew leaders and even sometimes anonymous donors would give you cold coins or cash. 




Overall the game is great. Although I wish I do some steering. Maybe I'll try to download a need for speed game for android. What are your thoughts?

New TV series review: Under the Dome


A mysterious dome appears out of nowhere trapping residents of Chester's Mill  inside. The dome has disrupted Mobile phones and the Internet leaving those trapped unable to contact the outside world. Radio communication is the only means for people in Chester's Mill to communicate inside the dome. 

People outside the dome has failed to break through the invisible barrier. As the days passes by people grows more desperate, water and food becomes more scarce and people either try to hold on to or seize the power to lead Chester's Mill. The dome has affected several individuals causing them to have seizures and reciting the lines "Pink stars are falling". We have to watched the show to see how the story unfolds. Having read several books written by Stephen King, I bet the master story will have a lot of twist and surprise before we truly learn the secrets of the dome.

Heat wins second straight NBA championship

It was great game. The Miami Heat and San Antonio Spurs gave it all but in the end the Heat emerge Victorious. From the 1st to the 4th Quarter, nobody new who would end up winning the championship. There were several lead changes that it is hard to speculate who would win.

If the San Antonio Spurs won, it would be their fifth Championship. If they won that would mean that every time the Spurs reached the NBA finals, they end up winning the championship. But unfortunately they didn't. I would have been a great record. Most people were rooting for the San Antonio based on their NBA finals record.

Lebron James and Dwayne Wade combined for a total of 60 points. James scored 37 points and was named Finals MVP. He joins Bill Rusell and Michael Jordan in the prestigious list of people who got back to back regular season and finals MVP awards.

It wasn't a big game for Chris Bosh who did not score but contributed 7 rebounds. The hero of Game 6, Ray Allen, did not score as well. Help came from Shane Battier who scored a total of 18 points which all came beyond the arc.

On the San Antonio side, Danny Green scored only 5 points. Kawli Leonard had a great game with 16 rebounds and 19 points. Manu Ginobili and Tony Parker combined with 28 points, 9 assists and 3 steals.Tim Duncan leads the Spurs in scoring with 24 points.

Rumors has emerged about Tim Duncan's retirement. Before the end of the series, there were speculations that Tim Duncan would retire after this season if they won the championship. Now it is still up in the air whether this would be Duncan's last season.

During the awarding ceremony, they gave their praises to Lebron and Shane Battier. I think they should have included Ray Allen. Without his heroics, the Heat's championship bid would have ended in Game 6.

So next season am I rooting for the Heat? I am not sure. I root for all the players in Heat roster except for Lebron James. I know he could score a lot but most of the time you couldn't rely on him when it matters most. I guess we will have to wait next season if they will be able to defend their title
