Pinball FX: Universal Pinball - TV Classics Review (dead moms walking)
Zen and the Art of Xena
When gamers who are Xena fans (and, seriously, we are out there) heard that the show was to be part of the 'TV classic' bundle,
it sent a little jolt of excitement into the fan community. That's because, even at the peak of Xena's success it seemed that she
was held back. Was never allowed to reach her full potential...
That's why it was such a delight to see that XWP had been included in this 'TV classic' bundle. Tbh, most game playing Xenites that I've known don't really play pinball. (I quite enjoy it.) But they were very interested in this bundle. At the very least you mighta made a few first time sales, and introduced a new community to the wonderful world of shiny steel balls.
But one of you Powers-That-Be made a horrible mistake. A mistake that I missed noticing as I gleefully took screenshots of the table to show curious Xenites. It was something that everyone else in the Xena community that I frequent immediately noticed.
It was GABY. G-A-B-Y.
And, once I did notice it, it became a huge glaring blemish. Firstly, because Xena always called her Gabrielle. Always used her full name. Arse and Callisto usually did too. It was actually Joxer who mostly calledl her Gabby.
So, yeah, it shoulda really have been Gabrielle.
However, if TPTB did wanna go short, the least they coulda done was spell it right. It's not complicated. G-A-B-B-Y. I mean, come on, this was Xena's girlfriend-to-the-end ferchristsake. Show a little respect.
Of course, I've already bought the bundle and I'll play the Xena one (it really is a fun and challenging table) until I get the balanced chakram achievement.. but, as a fan, and until this boo-boo gets fixed, I'm afraid I've gotta give it a thumbs down. I also won't be purchasing any other tables here, either. I just can't.
Please note: I will happily rewrite this review once the problem has been patched up.
