It's that time of the week again - Android App Pick of the Week! After a weekend of technical work, fun and awesomeness hanging with youth and good music I am back with yet another pick. My weekend was full of great challenges and Hill Climb Racing is a fun challenging game to play! It's not multiplayer, like Need For Speed, but it's a type of racing game that requires you to reach a certain distance to get to the next level. It's addicting and a great time waster if you got nothing to do. It also incorporates social networks, so you can share your score with others and even challenge your friends!

Hill Climb Racing is pretty simple to play - you only have two buttons to push. The gas pedal on the right and the brake on the left - if you need it . You basically hit the ground running; ready to go, Like gramma in Granny Smith. As you're driving along, you collect coins that will let you upgrade your vehicle, unlock a stage, or type of vehicle to spin some tires with. Every now and then you collect jerry cans of fuel to keep you going. If you run out it's game over. If you flip your vehicle to the point you can't go any more (broken neck), it's game over. The driver doesn't have a roll cage - as Mythbusters say "don't try this at home, leave it to the App Professionals"... or something like that.
