Tea Leaves

Picoreview Haiku

It's been a busy time so our collective brain hasn't had a lot of room to generate content for the site. But, we have been playing a few new games recently, so, here are some short impressions, in the by now very clichéd Haiku style.

Final Fantasy X

Big hair, bigger sword
Walk from cut scene to cut scene
They never shut up

Call of Duty 2

Soldiers scream and shoot
Head throbs, eyes do not see the
head shot from nowhere.

MLB 06: The Show

The pitching meter
moves back and forth, up and down
But how does it work?

Commandos 2

Sneak behind Nazi
Arterial spray gushes
a warm summer rain

Oblivion: peterb

The thrill of combat
Oops, I leveled up too soon
Reload my last save

Oblivion: psu

It's a big wide world
Things to do, people to see
Their faces haunt me

A Fool And His Money

True believers know
Cliff's release dates are cruel jokes
Shut up and write code.

Shadow Hearts 2

Hooray! A new dress
For my creepy little doll
Now I must shower.

Nethack

I don't keep the dog
That's why in twenty five years
I have never won.

Guitar Hero

Hard and fast solos
Hands throbbing, no star power
It's Cowboys from Hell.
