To My Most Loved Games/I will write them a Haiku/This Title is One

Shadow of the Colossus:
Mountain Monsters wait
Slaying to save my lady
Misguided mission

Braid:
Tim chases girlfriend
Time flows like spilled water
Best ending ever

Portal:
Esoteric Meme
Space flows as mobius strip
The cake is a lie

BioShock:
Unchecked morals make
Superpowers marketplace
Ayn Rand is still wrong

Contribute your own Haikus to your favorite games in the comments section!

  1. Nice haikus. I especially like the SoTC one (awesome ending with 'misguided mission') and the Portal one.

    You might need to add another syllable to the first line for SoTC though :)


    Here is one for ICO

    Trapped in a castle,
    protecting her from shadows,
    he holds her hand tight

  2. Holy smokes - just saw this awesomeness. I'm printing it out now to share with teachers. :-) And here's my haiku for the latest (major) game I played - Fallout: New Vegas...

    Apocalyptic
    and Retrofuturistic
    Way too many bugs

    or maybe

    Greatness expected
    Though detailed and complex, it's
    Less than sum of parts

    Wow, it's hard to write haikus and not sound like Tarzan. But maybe all your reviews should have a haiku that sums up your thoughts on a game. How cool would that be to give viewers a haiku to spout out when someone asks what they've heard about a game? :-p
