To mark the launch this week of 2K's gritty and authentic open world crime sim, we have a host of Mafia gear to give away. Today it's the 2nd and final PS3 prize.
Thanks to our friend at 2K Games, we have FIVE Mafia II "gangster" packs to give away. We'll be giving away one each day this week. Each pack contains:
* Mafia II game * Mafia II t-shirt * Mafia II cufflinks * Mafia II artbook * Mafia II moneyclip
So how do you win today's PS3 pack? Easy. It's time for haiku!
Because you love haiku. Hit us up with your mafia themed haiku in the comments. The cleverest/wittiest haiku will win. Or if not, possibly just the one I like the most.
You've got until midnight tonight to get your entry in. The winner will be announced at 10am tomorrow when we open a new draw. No multiple entries please, but if you don't win you're welcome to try again tomorrow with a new entry.
And yesterday's PC winner is... DerangedStoat who shares my fondness for puns:
The hit was put out. 'The Cleaner' was contracted. Maid un-made made man.
Shouts out to Bukake Kane, Dave, Sweet Potato Vines, Fury, GoMad, Shoitaan, xevone, ArghZombies and Rod for making my decision even more difficult than yesterday. Either PC gamers are smarter or you guys are better at haiku than limericks.

There once was a gangster named Ahmed,
Got confused, wrote a haiku instead:
Peaceful placid lake,
Cement Boots were a mistake
Good night, soon I'm dead.
Oh my!
Great job, but its not really a haiku is it? I understand if it wins but the competition didn't really ask for that though.
As with most comps here, whats written is generally more of a guideline.. thinking outside the box is often rewarded - besides, it tends to make things a bit more interesting :)
Don't really see much point entering this competition now...
haha yeah, that was pretty epic.. i'm glad i'm not trying to win the PS3 version
The gangster's eyes met
One's were glazed over with fear
Gobbo was shot down
I hope no one's giving up just because the bar has been raised.
haha it would certainly appear that way - i would like to see someone top that though, or at least try!
Gobbo really has kicked it into overdrive though - makes me quite nervous for what i must compete against tomorrow :P
I'm hoping they've given up... ;)
haha i'm sure you would be mate :P... maybe i should come up with something to topple you ;)
Nooooo! :P
I held off from entering Tues/Wed cos the Xbox and PC versions wouldn't have done me much good... so had this limeraiku idea before the competition involved haikus...
...perhaps I shoulda bought a lottery ticket instead?
It’s just that we know you too well, Dave.
Gobbo’s entry is a master brain wave.
It’s innovative,
So damn creative
Don’t worry we will be brave
For collectively it is our secret hope
That you increase the competitions scope
In this special case,
His entry so ace,
Awarding him with a signed copy to grope
You see; then we will fight once more,
The original prize will be in store,
For the second best
Of our haiku jest.
Our convenient community once more at war.
Oh damn! Now there's definitely no point. Damn you people and your ability to write....things....
Haha fantastic. Well played Gobo.
Haha ... winner judged four minutes after the comp started!
I've gotta say that was brilliant Gobbo! Just glad I bothered writting mine before I saw this or I'd likely not have bothered.
Yep. End of comp for the day. Maybe we just skip to the next day's entries instead now...?
The Godfather makes
An offer you can't refuse...
Oh sorry, wrong game
Damn fuckin Gobbo
Smart-arse damn sod, Fat Tony
says, enjoy the prize!
(nuttin will beat your entry today Gobbo, it was freaking awesome x 1000!!)
Crime packed city streets
Family love so hateful
Pause pressed to go pee
Haikus are easy
But sometimes they don't make sense
Tommy Gun Cat Hat
I have that threadless shirt.
It's ok, I only copied 66% of it... :P
ah stereotype
thick jersey accents all round
pass my tommy gun
Congrats To Gobbo
for winning todays final
PlayStation Prize pack
Enjoy it! ;)
Haiku?? Or Limerick?? Here's my Haiku..
Women, money, cars
Tommy guns and White Powder
It WILL all be mine
creeping through the house
tucking surprise under sheet
i'm sorry Phar Lap
There you have it ladies and gentlemen, my first ever haiku... I hope it is correct.
Nineties killing me
Not supposed to kill no more
Tiptoe through tulips
Up in the hizzle
sippin' on the gin n juice
my bad wrong gangster
garroted wire chokes
struggle will be over soon
nautical themed nap.
A collar of iron
With barbs to pierce the flesh
Blood to tell the truth
La li lu le lo
I need scissors! 61!
Wrong game you wise guy
Gobbo wowed David
With hybrid haiku limmerick
All others gave up
Concrete boots on feet,
I am drowning yet patient,
as my save-game loads.
New gangster wanted
Must have own gun and transport
On the job training
I hereby contract
someone to take out Gobbo
bring finger for proof!
Winter night stake out;
Rival family Don looms;
Target, Trigger, Kill.
(Thankyou for continuing to mock me David, you big tease)
What's a guy to do?
Twice bridesmaid, never the bride.
Mob life I abide
ahahah Bukake, when are you ganna cop a break? That's the 2nd time you got an honrable mention.
Lift your game !!
Holy crap! You've 'made' my day!
Thanks David!
Congrats mate, on winning the competition and apparently being smarter than all console gamers;)
Congrats mate - great haiku lol :D
There once was a gangster who'd broken the rules
By racketeering his literary tools
Wildgoose is amused
At how everyone will lose
Thinks us all quite fools
Suit and tie, respect
Ruthless Killer… then we eat.
Sit with friends, dark soul.
Trying for a darker perspective on the Mafia mentality and the mundane mixed with the bloodshed. Hard to do with so few words!
Looks like you have all selected a winner anyway so thought i'd try something different.
This is a story
All about how my life got
flip-turned upside down
Gobbo, that gangster!
An honorable mention
is all I hope for
