...mature by the Entertainment Software Rating Board, a self-regulated group created by the gaming industry, and is recommended only for players ages 17 or older. Yet there is no law preventing retailers from selling Mrated games--including other hot titles like Halo 2, Half-Life 2 and Doom 3--to kids. Now the Governor of Illinois, Democrat Rod Blagojevich, is trying to do something about that. Outraged by a news report about JFK Reloaded, a game available for download from an overseas firm, in which players try to assassinate President Kennedy, Blagojevich plans to propose two bills this month...

...truly funny misappropriation of Cole Porter and some of the best sound collages in recent memory. The Metal Fingered Villain is definitely good at what he does, but this isn’t his masterwork. Here his prolific release schedule works against him, as there are so many other Doom albums to compare his latest against. Virgins to his work are fully advised to check out February’s Madvillainy first. If MM..Food? is a letdown, it’s only because he has set the bar so high. Like the man says, “these metal...
