Ohoho! Time for some gaming poetry! That's [nerdy * nerdy = nerdy˛] for those of you who can count.

What you do here is take a game you like or dislike, one you've played or haven't played, pretty much any game. Then you write a little haiku about it, be it a review, a synopsis or just random comments about it. Use any form of Haiku you wish.

Inspired by Five-word/Haiku Reviews - The Eegra Forums (http://www.eegra.com/forum/showthread.php?t=303)

Examples:

Final Fantasy VII
Hey Aeris don't die
We were gonna get it on
Sephiroth is mean

Breakout
Die little brick things
How many levels are there
Oh man I hate this

Apollo Justice: Ace Attorney
The bracelet thing sucked
"Made from a special alloy"?
Hell no it's magic.

(Gaiku: Portmanteau of Game and Haiku)

Yeah, I saw that. It isn't true if you don't suck. :p

EDIT: Also, I noticed the second line has 8 syllables. FAIL.

It's a superb game:
Shadow of the Colossus.
Still don't get it, though. :confused:
