    Thank! I claimed it even though I am not into that music genre, singer,
    and band.

    This one's a weird mish-mash of action/adventure,
    platforming, driving, beat-em-up and real-time strategy.
    Its game-play may be all over the place, but that's almost
    incidental to what the project really is about: it's a love
    letter to heavy metal. It's got the songs, it's got the look;
    hell, it's got Jack Black (not to mention a bunch of heavy
    metal stars, including Ozzy Ozbourne). It's not necessarily
    one of those games you play to the end, but it's definitely a
    game you want to at least give a look; do the first chapter
    or so and soak in the ambience.

    But hurry, it's only free for 11.1 hours (666 minutes, natch)... and
    as of this posting the first hour is already spent.

    Thanks Ozzy. Even in your death you're bringing great things to us.

    Double Fine is my favorite publisher right now because of Bastion and
    The Cave, but unfortunately this requires a registered account, which I
    have zero time for.
