Dead Space 2 is set for release this coming January, but the demo is currently available for download. Considering that the original was probably one of the best single player experiences of this generation, we totally recommend giving it a bash. And while you're at it, you may as well have a shot at winning a copy of the game when it's released in 2011.
We have five copies up for grabs, and the entry mechanic is simple. You asked for a Haiku competition and by jeebus you're going to get one! We want you to tell us, in Haiku form, how scared/excited/terrified you were when you first played either the original Dead Space, or the Dead Space 2 demo.
Here's my rubbish example.
I open the door, A dead baby eats my face, My pants are soiled.
The five most entertaining/funny/clever entries win the game - leave your Haikus in the comments below and I'll announce the winners next Friday.
Terms and Conditions can be found here.

A presence is felt,
Dead in space.
A haiku is 5,7,5 mate :)
might want to re-do that one :)
5,7,5? So my correction above was wrong as well. That's it! I'm packing up my toys and going home. *runs away crying*
HAW HAW!!
Garment scent, pine fresh.
First fright of Dead Space launch night.
What's that funky smell?
Will have to get the demo now cause I've never played before. Give me a minute.
I gloat about braveness
High-pitched scream at seeing a baby
Friends laugh, head hangs.
Unfortunately, the above is a true story...
Wow, I can't count to save my life. Fixed version:
I gloat about braveness
See baby, high-pitch scream
Friends laugh, head hangs low.
Have another crack
I'm sure you'll get it next time
Hint, The bottom's 5
I don't get it... it is 5 syllables...
Am I missing something? XD
You've got 6,6,5, so you need to tweak those first two lines.
I gloat about braveness - 6 (about and braveness =2 each)
See baby, high-pitch scream - 6
Friends laugh, head hangs low. 5
You want 5,7,5 your close but might have to reword the first line
I gloat in braveness
See baby, high-pitch screaming
Friends laugh, head hangs low.
OK, Now I'm CERTAIN it's right! XD

The prince of Persia ones were way funnier. Prolly thanks to shirtless Jake!
Played the first Dead Space,
Scared off after one hour,
Two achievements unlocked.

the voices of ghosts,
this is a load of barnacles,

Abadoned station,
Necromorphs ambush me now,
Damn the vents!
Heart pounds heavily
Skin crawls, breathe halts, blood boils
Shields at forty-nine.

Are we allowed multiple entries? If not, I'd like this one to be accepted rather than the other.
Let me try that again >_>
