Video Game Haikus

[SmugFrog]

This is awesome in a strange sort of way.

 

[Jamanticus]

For Kingdom Hearts (or every single Final Fantasy game......or JRPG, for that matter):
Sora's got spiky hair.
So do all the rest, I guess....
But that's anime.

For Starcraft:
Protoss are badass,
Terrans are all from the South,
Zerg infest my life.

For Sins of a Solar Empire:
There's no Campaign Mode,
But, forgive this shortcoming,
Because it's epic.

I shall come up with more; give me time.

I lose at my life
Stupid computer beats me
Civilization

I think "Civilization" is 5 syllables, but I'm not sure. Probably depends on your regional accent. And "fire" is 1 syllable (as far as I can tell, anyways).

Drive! Crash! Drive! Crash! Win!
Burnout and all the sequels
I lose my license

Some words have ambiguous syllable schemes. Perhaps my poetry is broken.

A trio for Fallout:
War never changes
The world has ended in fire
I come from the vault

Rad scorpions suck
Across the desert I go
I need more ammo

"Bloody mess" for me
Makes this game more exciting
Chunky bits fly far

[Crunchy English]

Cloaked, He Infiltrates
He Paints the Precious Target
Zerg Hive, Ground Zero

I... think that's right?

Far Cry, killing fish.
with machete, makes red cloud
Let's go a' fishin'

The Escapist
Wilsoncrazybed
and Nilcypher own the escapist
now fear the banhammer



This is the first Haiku I've ever done, don't laugh...

 

[Emperor Inferno]

Mephisto, you're weak
my sorcereress will destroy
you with fire and ice

I -love- to be a nitpicker but i can't be here because I'm not sure about it - however i will bring it up. I'm pretty sure you've got the syllables wrong in the last line there, i think, i -think- that fire has two syllables. Not too sure though.

It doesn't. Me and my friends had a similar discussion a long time ago, and we asked our English teacher. One syllable.

I won't laugh. I like it- it very much describes what I call, "The Escapist Condition", and there is much strife and turmoil within it that enhances its poignancy.

(that was not sarcasm, just a lot of reading into the thing)

Here's one for DOOM 3, albeit a slightly different one than urprobablyright created:

Demons are scary,
No creature should move that fast,
.....Unless it's from hell......

 

[Emperor Inferno]

never played portal
still think Glados is a *****
What!? Cake's a lie? NOOOOOO!!!

 

[XzarTheMad]

My suit, tie and guns
Make short work of my contract,
But I am still bald.

Metal Gear, Metal
Gear, Metal Gear, Metal Gear,
And the fanboys drool.

 

[Woe Is You]

The ship changes color
Black, white, black and white again
Metempsychosis

 

[curlycrouton]

Playing Mario
Jump on the bastard turtles!
Its shell destroys all.

 

[Psychedeliasmith]

Pata pata pon
Pata pata pon pata
Pon chaka chaka.

Grand Theft Auto is
a crime, but it's a cool game
best: San Andreas
