J Allard loves XBL Barbie
Intrigue swirled yesterday when HiroProtagonist (aka J Allard) and other Microsoft glitterati showed up at the top of the leaderboard for Barbie: Horse Rally, the "amazing" next-gen sequel to Barbie Horse Adventures: Wild Horse Rescue. Indeed, a glance at Allard's and Major Nelson's gamercards on MyGamerCard.net show the plastic princess in heavy rotation (note the Barbie icon). Did Dollhouse Diva somehow slip into the Xbox 360's stable under the internet radar? Sadly for hopeful gamers who grew up posing their little sister's dolls in sexual positions, I'm forced to report that Barbie: Horse Rally is horse hocky. Allard's pony-riding expertise appears to be an April Fools joke crafted by MyGamerCard and Achieve360Points.com, to the cruel disappointment of 6-year-old girls and Mattel stockholders. The screenshot is from the 2003 Xbox game, which did not have an Xbox Live component. It's not known if Barbie's all-too-brief appearance on the 360 will affect Rockstar's Malibu Stacy project.
Barbie's long-time boyfriend, who shall remain nameless, and her jailbait pal Skipper were unavailabe for comment.
