     I agree with you but the problem is the review is extremely one
sided. Why compare battle.net (free) to TEN (pay for play)? Why bitch
about spawned copies? It would not have been so bad if these supposed
negatives were followed with some deserved kudos but they are not. The
review is terribly biased and one sided and I expected more from
Gamecenter.
