Call of Duty: Black Ops

Run and blast away the snipers
Hiding all across the map:
Pistols, knives, machine guns, trip mines
Let you set the perfect trap.

If the death match gets too boring,
Try the gun game for a change…
Or defend your team from zombies
Using Nixon (is that strange?)

For its multiplayer madness
Black Ops gets the most acclaim…
Some day I’ll fin’lly stop to try
Its single player game!

Space Ace

Dragon’s Lair – unfair.
Space Ace, though, is simply cruel.
Cheap deaths come quickly.
You need guesswork here, not skill.
Death comes with little warning.

Dragon’s Lair II: Time Warp

More cartoon than game,
But more complex than the first;
Still too little game!
Flashes make the game fairer…
Gameplay remains limited.

Dragon’s Lair

Bluth’s animation
Is the real attraction here.
Win through memory;
The gameplay is all scripted!
Fun to watch but not to play.

Ms. Pac-Man

Red-bowed muncher speeds
Upon aqua ghosts she feeds
Siren’s call she heeds
Crazily better than Pac,
Thirty years and still on track.
