Review: Forza Motorport 6

By Sonya & Jacob Davidson

The newest member of the Forza Motorsport Series is Forza 6 (released on September 15, 2015) and, according to my 15 year old son who's a BIG fan of racing games, is by far the best and most realistic game in the series created by Turn 10 Studios. 

Forza 6 is the most challenging of the series. If you love cars and you love racing this is an amazing game. There are more than 450 cars in this game and 26 tracks from all around the world including Rio, Yas Marina, and Brands Hatch just to name a few. This game is not just for already existing fans of the Forza series, it's great for those who have never experienced Forza before.

Google Keep comes to iOS

Two years following its debut on Android devices and on the web, Google Keep finally makes its way to Apple’s iOS platform. The note-taking and to-do list app from Google brings with it things like location-based reminders, shared lists, and quick search and filtering. It’s available for both the iPhone and the iPad.
