Monthly Giveaways! June 2010

IN Blur, New Era Singapore, Contests

Win a set of 'Blur' the game courtesy of New Era Singapore! All you have to do is register yourself as a member of Burnpavement.com and answer a simple question below to qualify.

'Blur' is basically an amalgam of 'Need for Speed Underground' and 'Super Mario Kart'. I started off the game by playing in 'Career' mode, with grandiose notions of being Mad Max assailing my mind. The game play is pretty straightforward as I progressed through a series of race events that required me to defeat my rivals on the streets and taking their vehicles. The ultimate aim is to get into the 'One-on-One' mode, but I must first fulfill a series of tasks that consists of a certain number of criteria as I competed in other events that included 'Race', 'Destruction' and 'Checkpoint'.

Blur | Powered-Up Racing Game

IN New Era Singapore, Blur, Xbox 360, Racing game

Activision's 'Blur' is a fast-paced racing game that requires decisions to be made in the blink of an eye.

Consider this, it has four comfortable seats (the driver's is electric-powered), an electric sunroof, full leather upholstery and door panels, a premium sound system, well insulated cabin, quality materials inside and looks to kill. And it is, by no means, slow. On top of all that, it's really beautiful. I mean just look at it, the fender bulges, the rakish lines...

As with all hatchbacks, the Golf is easy to manage and park, mummies who drive will be happy to know that. It also looks fairly non-descript in an HDB carpark so it won't attract any unwanted attention. Side mirrors feature useful parking lamps to illuminate dark spaces.

Daddies 'R' Us | Volkswagen Golf R

IN VW, Volkswagen, Vee Dub, Golf, R, GTI, R32, Kids

OK, so Keegan thinks the Golf R works. But he's young(ish), single and likes parrots. What about those of us with kids in tow? Will there be enough room to swing it in this Golf?

With the tuned up EA113, Volkwagen fans, especially those of the Golf will appreciate the all-new Golf R's power and torque gains over the outgoing V6, churning out a hefty 256 bhp and 330 Nm. This is also a very significant increase as compared to a stock Mark VI Golf GTI's 210 bhp and 280 Nm. Also, the R goes from zero to 100km/h in a mere 5.7 seconds. Now is that quick enough for you?
