I never thought they'd actually do this. I'm amazed at the level of detail put into the artwork..! I am impressed/wondering what these people are doing with their time.

Seriously I doubt Zero Punctuation actually helps or hinders anyone's games sales.
Valve called Yahtzee after his review of Painkiller to tell him downloads on steam had tripled after his review......

Unicorns FTW! Has anyone told Susan yet?
Wow, I didn't know that. That's very interesting.

That is one of the most awesome things I have ever seen. Not the pictures themselves, just that they actually did it.

Yahtzee, you have a helluva lot more influence in the gaming world than I previously thought possible; first Valve, now this...
wait what do you mean "first valve?"
Well, after his review of the Orange Box, Valve invited him to Washington to meet their staff. See this [http://www.escapistmagazine.com/articles/view/videos/zeropunctuation/2655-Yahtzee-Visits-Valve-a-Travelogue].

I seriously feel that radical won that round, because, not only did they HUMILIATE Sucker punch by using an excisting photo and using Photoshop to make it more girly, and yet contain the ugly man that was supposed to wear it.. but the cowards at Sucker punch acctually made Alex look like a GIRL and not a man WEARING girls clothing. Also Radical had a more "Skillful" photo in my opinion, and Prototype is a fucking awesome game with just decent graphics. I say Radical wins, who is WITH me?

You know, despite Infamous winning and all (and I agree with Yahtzee that pic is better) I still think I'm going to get Prototype; I tried the Infamous demo and I just... I just couldn't enjoy myself. I think Prototype is the game I could really let myself go nuts with.

its only been a week and both studios are willing to do something like this just to win a good review. lol XD

I don't believe this. They both actually participated in the contest Yahzee sort of threw out there at the end of his review?
Yahtzee must have magical powers or something, or some sort of blackmail-like hold over Sucker Punch and Radical.

Just wow.

I can't believe that the game developers of each game watch your reviews,eventhough they know that most of the time they'll end up sitting in a dark corner with tears in their eyes and a teddy in their arms, because of you critisising the hell out of them.

But the fact that they look at you as if you were some kind of god-like reviewer that decides wether they can go to heaven or hell and accept your challenges just so that you can give their game the "Zero Punctuation seal of quality" makes me happy. (I guess they are just out for some fun)

Anyways,I would declare Prototype as the winner because their picture of Cole made me think twice about buying the game ... But who cares? No one! :)

Both companies should put out special editions using those pictures as cover art.
I would so buy the INfamous one; now all we need is someone to cosplay as him in the Mardi Gras.

INfamous won with their picture of the guy from Prototype.

I still say you should have gone for a second tie breaker, mate :p

But yeah, it actually makes my cold heart glow to see just how low game developers will go to get a favorable review.
