Let's face the facts: I'm a Metallica fanboy. On the face of it, I like Death Magentic, and I especially like how DM seems like an effort to put the Metal back in Metallica. Of course, there are a few things I can complain about, like the clipping issues and how the record seems to have been practically suffocated by the loudness wars.

Hurricane Ike makes people crazy.

lolz inside.

Heh.

If you're interested, I wrote an extensive Spore review. TL;DR, here's the rundown:

1. DRM sucks ASS. 3 installs. Uninstalls don't count. 4th one by begging EA. 5th one needs a new license.
2. SecuROM sucks my balls and if I ever meet the people who own that company I will personally end their lives by force feeding them my feces till they're fucking dead.
3. Gameplay is shit. Camera in space is shit. Battles are shit.
