The Gaiku Thread

Ohoho! Time for some gaming poetry! That's [nerdy * nerdy = nerdy²] 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

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)

I like this thread idea.

Rhythm Tengoku Gold
Oh "Rhythm Heaven"
How I love your crazy ways.
I will make a thread.

Final Fantasy
Final Fantasy
5 syllables on its own
It's quite pretentious

I like this one from the site you linked:

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:
