Killzone 2... Again
Those scamps at Guerilla released what was lauded as the first ever (proper, not touched-up) in-game screenshot from eagerly-awaited warathon Killzone 2. And it looked a bit... flat. Ho ho ho - here's why:
It was a poster! Lawks, mirth, etc. and so on. Come on, now Guerilla, less of the funny pseudo-hoaxes and more of the makey a PS3 game, yeh?
Halo 3... Again
There are no words. You just have to hope that whoever concocted this cock-eyed mock-up was chortling to themselves while crudely photoshopping in a few random Halo elements to a Half-Life 2 environment. Because no one is really that stupid to think this works, right?
Call of Duty 4
Ha! Haha! Brilliant. But that's not the only 'shot' that was 'exclusively' revealed by website NG-Gamer (and not on 1 April either)...
