Here's A Whole New Batch Of Gaming Haiku
It truly is a magical day. Now that you're done with all that stocking/unwrapping/passive-aggressive family stuff, it's time for the good stuff. You know, gaming haiku. Sheesh!
I've reduced the past 10 games that I've played to their essence, pressed that refined material through my brain (gently!), and then transcribed the results for all to see.
If you'd like to read more of my amazing poems, I know where you can get even more of 'em.
Some Bionicle/Hero Factory Whatever Flash Game My Kid Made Me Play
A stuttering mess.
The worst camera ever.
A child saying “sucks.”
Puzzle & Dragons
Match-three Pokemon
Look! A pay wall approaches.
Be back tomorrow.
Pinball Arcade
Classic pin tables,
classically bad interface
fumbling it up.
Far Cry 3
Fire, tigers, bandits.
It's like side mission, the game.
Critical path? Nope.
The Room
What's in this darn box?
A mystery worth solving.
Curiosity?
Happy Town
What's the allure here?
Check on it like a baby.
Animal Cursing.
The Unfinished Swan
Painting the town black.
An art game that's still a game.
Hold still, you damned swan.
Lego the Lord of the Rings
Sauron and his mouth
annihilating the Shire:
worth the admission.
Dishonored
Corvo's clockwork mask
is the last thing the guards see.
Nonlethal run? Ha!
Pinball FX 2
Civil War table!
Zen Studios' new idea:
Insert coin, hear speech.
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
