Warning: Do not believe your eyes. Not even a little bit

Excite Truck 2

Eagle-eyed gamers will notice the Helghast soldier is lifted straight from the first controversial footage of Killzone 2. Others will simply see the out-of-place weapon (cribbed from Enemy Territory: Quake Wars) and realise something is up. Either way, this is bobbins.

Kid Icarus DS

Rule one of fake screenshots: If it looks too good to... no, we've done that one. Needless to say, though, that this fanboy-pleasing image is naught but a Deviant Artist's fantasy.
