MxO actually managed to appear in PC Gamer. I know, it's a miracle. Some wise player actually wrote a player review and got it printed.
I won't type out the entire thing; In summary it emphasised the things that make this game good; "the green flutter of code begins to fade from my view, a small gathering of pigeons fly into the sky as the sounds of footsteps emanates (sic) from where they were once standing, While I watch a...merovingian soldier fire a hail of bullets my way"
The review wasn't perfectly objective, but it was inspiring and factual. "I can fight now as well, I will no longer get stuck in a wall after a five second battle"
The reader gave it a score of 79% (which seems fair).
PC gamer's response is what irritates me:
"Original score: 48% (Given at launch of MxO)
PCG reponds: We're glad you like it but to us TMO is still as off-putting as that giant flower at Kew Gardens that hardly ever blooms and smells like carrion. You Know the one."
Now, I know they didn't even bother playing the game (they don't have the time..too busy kissing Blizzard and NCSoft's asses) again to see if it actually had changed.
So lets inform them of the error of their ways (notably calling it TMO 
). If you want to respond send a letter to:
