Editor’s note: Not to be outdone by the limerick E3 press conferences or any of the numerous invidividual haiku verses people have done on Bitmob, Cody Winn gives us a synopsis and review of Wii’s Little King’s Story in one full poem. How do these guys find the time and patience to do these?? Anyway, hit read more for the whole thing. -Shoe
Just for fun…
Today, something odd:
A cow knight made me a king.
Good move? Hmm. We’ll see.
My castle is gross,
rats and cobwebs, blargh. I need
gold not dirt, peons!
I force my people
to dig me up said gold, aye.
I shall build arcades.
I take my knights out
on the town, but no drinks: we
fight bad vegetables.
Many die. Few live.
I use the dead vegetables
to feed my subjects.
Following day, we
march, burning fields and flowers.
I shall rule all things.
Cross bridges, climb steps,
all to piss off this big world.
I’m your god! Hear me!
We steal land, women,
food and drink, taking all. They
hate me; “overworked.”
I push them on, still,
until all the world is mine.
Only now, comes rest.
In my sleep, they strike:
swords and knifes and cursed words.
No “king” — only dust.
My name erased, gone.
I’m but a statue with a
pejorative: “jerk.”
The game is fun though.
Cute graphics, warm and fuzzy.
Saccharine, for sure.
You can find art, which,
apparently, is fan-made.
Devs give back, nice!
It’s easy to control.
I don’t like RTS games,
but this is nice, yep.
Friendly interface,
not too complicated. *smiles*.
Pretty neat — buy it, eh?
No scores though, they suck.
Can’t rate a kingdom that way;
just honor and blood.
