REVIEWS GRiD 2 Review
Grid 2 surprised me. I was going through the motions, getting used to the cars and their handling, when suddenly something happened. I started having fun.

State of Decay Review
Undead Lab's zombie-infested action title has finally hit XBLA. Is it worth a few of your precious Microsoft Points, or should you whack it over the head with a two-by-four and continue on your merry way?

E3: PC or rather about the lack of it
By Starling
Posted on 06/15/13
E3 2013 has been very silent for me. There's tons of media, but most of it buzzes past my ears without them catching the important keyword that my ears are fine tuned to receive: "PC" or "Personal Computer". Microsoft, Sony, EA and Ubisoft have all shown their cards...

Insanely Twisted Shadow Haiku Fridays

Posted on Friday, July 29 @ 20:56:30 Eastern by
Wondering what you can win in the 101st Haiku Fridays contest? Check out the E3 trailer for Insanely Twisted Shadow Planet below:


I've been playing ITSP for GameRevolution's review. How is it? Mmmmm, good. It's good. I can't say anymore though! You'll have to wait for Monday. Consequently, that's also the day we'll be announcing our winner! If Bastion and From Dust are any impression of next week's Summer of Arcade release, you're in for a treat.

Here's the deal: You have to write a haiku using any ONE of the following words: Insanely, Twisted, Shadow, or Planet. How you use those words is up to you. The words surrounding those words is up to you as well. Really, we're not about to inhibit your creativity. We want to see what you can come up with!

tl;dr


Write a haiku using Insanely, Twisted, Shadow, or Planet.
Place it conveniently in the comments.
Tune back in on Monday where we'll announce whether a winner is you or not!

GO!

    LAZINESS! You cry.
    For that I spit my Haiku.
    Sloth, it is not true!

    Haiku to write now
    Insanely I have to work
    Must prove you a jerk!

    Twisted is my face
    Grimaced with my disgrace
    Shirker I am not!

    Angelic words say
    From shadow of shame be freed
    Sloth ‘tis not thy creed!

    Across the planet
    Let it be proven to all
    It was but a lie!

    Summer sun now shines
    Leaves of green are on the trees
    Planet earth delights.

    Autumn sun now sets
    Leaves of gold are on the trees
    Planet earth delights.

    Winter stars now shine
    Leaves are gone now from the trees
