    The Haiku Review: flower

    http://www.giantbomb.com/forums/general-discussion/30/the-haiku-review-flower/230947

    So I have a new idea for something fun to read:

    The Haiku Review is where I take an experience from a game and sum it all up in a format of five syllables, seven syllables, five syllables, seventeen total. It might seem abstract but I'll leave it up to you to decide what it means or not, and I'll give a brief couple of sentences after the haiku of what I think of it.

    I am a flower
    building buildings with my wind
    I wished I smoke pot.

    Now meditate on the haiku to really get a sense of if it's worth checking out.

    I find flower a fascinating piece of art for gaming that makes its point about energy and a way we can use it to better our world without it seeming to pretentious or obnoxious. The only problem is that it feels about $5 too much, but maybe time will tell to see how many times I go back to the game.

      Braid was a 2008 release starring a self-loathing British stalker capable of using the powers of Shame and Regret to manipulate time in unsavory fashions. All of this may or may not have been a metaphor for the atomic bomb, or the destructive nature of human obsession, or something completely unrelated. It had the right kind of ambition of boosting the games-as-art argument, but the problem was that the developer (all one of them?) knew this. So they (he?) took every chance possible to preach an...
