Five second reviews. Written, folded and photographed by hand for your pleasure. My haikvu's bring you bite sized hand sculpted game reviews. They combine the Japanese art of origami with haiku poetry.

My favourite map is the Nightfire map. It's set in an area of houses, and I think it's the most fun to play. There's a sniper area on either side, with one being hard to defend but with a good view of most of the battlefield. The other sniping area only has one entrance, but only a narrow line of sight. Because there are two, and both have weaknesses, sniping doesn't become crazily overpowered like in other maps. There's also a bunch of different routes through the level, so all the different game types are pretty fun.

I spent the next four or five weeks engrossed in the finer points of city economics, town planning, social experimentation and traffic control. Whilst it didn't directly help my geography G.C.S.E, it was certainly a lot of fun and felt more productive than blowing aliens away or playing virtual football with tiny little men.
