Beat Hazard

ESRB Rating:	E - Everyone
My Rating:	Ages 6 and up
Genre:	Bullet Hell / Rhythm
Fun-O-Meter:
Summary:	This outer space shoot 'em up is powered by your music library. Faster beats mean more intense battles, while quieter segments slow the action down -- and lower the strength of your weapons!
Brief thoughts:	While this game is full of bloodless carnage, it's not any more violent than classic arcade games. The only real issue is that the player can choose to play with inappropriate music, and that's pretty much your own fault.

Adware

Adware is a form of malicious software that is designed to display unwanted and unsolicited advertising in an intrusive manner.

Note that just because software features advertisements does not mean it's adware: the key difference between ad-supported software and adware is that ad-supported software has a purpose beyond bombarding the user with advertising.
