E3 '09 Poetry Jam: The Final Day Blues


For the past eight years, Defunct Games has been there showing you the good, bad and ridiculous happenings at the Electronic Entertainment Expo in Los Angeles, California. E3 2009 is no exception, only this time around we're not going to bother you with pointless previews and hands-on articles. This year we've decided to give gamers what they want ... POETRY! Over the next five days I am going to update this page with haikus about all of the newest games and announcements. Best of all, I am going to be posting new updates all throughout the day and night, so come back for more new haikus and personal thoughts. Now if you don't mind, I have a major gaming event to cover!

So get over it!

Taking out those mobile homes.

You are too gritty.
