Shadow of the Colossus (PS2)
Stab the blue tattoo
In their furry, stony hide
Blood black like the night

Castlevania: Symphony of the Night (PS)
In Dracula's home
Many crosses, holy things
That does not make sense

Portal (PC)
Thinking with Portals
As the ad tells me to do
Is a lot of fun

Not any more! Ta for the heads-up.

(Really, though, these kinds of mistakes are inevitable given the tedium involved in updating the database. It really is boring grunt work.)

I don't judge. Not out loud anyway.

Edit: I did a nice thing for Neen!

Dokapon Kingdom (Wii)
You have been poisoned. Again.

When will I recieve my trophy in the mail?

If I don't get it I'll sue.

Time to try some 5 word reviews.

World of Goo (PC)
Black sticky balls are fun.

Half-life (PC)
I hate god damn landmines.

BioShock (PC)
Morality is an important issue.

Braid (XBLA)
What was that game about?

Those are not as fun as the haiku poems.

-LOL DELETED BECAUSE IT WASN'T AN ACTUAL HAIKU-

Am I doing it right?
Also I prefer Nero over Dante, I just couldn't come up with something decent for the middle line :I

Without trying to start an argument about poetic forms and their relevance to different languages etc. the working definition of haiku we've been using is three lines, with 5, 7, and 5 syllables in that order.

Dokapon Kingdom (Wii)
The king has a plan
to save the economy:
Hire adventurers

Also, if you want something more review-ish:

Dokapon Kingdom (Wii)
Mario Party meets Final Fantasy

Then I'll never be able to write Haikus :I
Specially as I'm brazillian and I have NO idea how you separate syllables in english, as Portuguese uses a completelly different form.

I know I'm terrible, but that sounds kind of awesome.

There is a syllable counter there for you. It's basically dependent on vowel sounds, like A-E-I-O-U.

Also, five-word reviews are acceptable, and easier.

Dokapon Kingdom is actually a really fun game. I suspect that with more than 2 people it starts to take on a political dimension that can only lead to more ca-razy hijinks.
