E3 2009: Microsoft Press Conference Recap (In Limerick Form)
Written by Andrew Hiscock   

Editor's note: If you only read one E3 press conference recap in limerick form this year...etc. (Hit 'read more' for the full effect.) -Demian

Editor's note 2: Don't miss out on Andrew's brilliant Nintendo and Sony follow-ups! -Shoe



There once was a company from Seattle
Whose console was in quite a battle
They introduced some games
With very big names
In hopes of some cages they'd rattle

Kojima once had a mysterious website
With only a countdown and no insight
It's a Metal Gear game
but Raiden is lame
Monkeys with diapers? Just might.

A new Halo made smiles out of frowns
The franchise reclaims its crown
With Master Chief?
A fan boy's relief
Bungie presents Halo: Reach Around

There once was a company named Square
Whose new game is quite an affair
With 10 planned sequels
Most smelling of fecal
Much like their fans' underwear

There were two men who are honorable "Sirs"
Ringo and Paul made quite the stir
John Lennon's ghost speaks
"This is quite a treat,
The Beatles and Pong? I concur"

Cliffy B made a game that avoids
Men with big armor and steroids
2D Gameplay
On XBLA
Oh wait! It's just like Metroid

Crackdown 2 was in the festivity
Another search for orbs agility
There will be no key
Can't you see?
Sales reserved instead for ODST

Plenty of new networks in the bag
Facebook and Twitter with my gamertag
I do fear this move
I've got nothing to prove
But they'll tell mom I'm "a newb and a fag"

Alan Wake finally made an appearance
With Microsoft's approval and clearance
One more year
With this vapor ware
Until its final disappearance

In Microsoft's final retort
Steven Spielberg was their cohort
Video control
To bolster bankroll
They introduced Minority Report

This is exactly the reason why I read Bitmob.

WoW, this is just makes me speach less.

Well done sir. Some are stretches, but I'll give you a pass for sheer awesome cleverness.

I know. I almost pulled my groin rhyming appearance with disappearance.

And I don't mind skipping limerick rhythm if I can put John Lennon's ghost into an E3 press conference.

Great stuff. Like Jon said, this is the reason to read BitMob.
