GI
First impressions are important, and game companies want to ensure gamers are excited when a new title is revealed. However, sometimes they go beyond simply putting their best foot forward, releasing doctored screens to generate enthusiasm. It’s an ethically dubious process, since we don’t know how far from the finished product these images are until we actually play it. With this list, we’re highlighting games that had flagrantly touched-up screens that created a gap between expectation and reality.
Matt Miller: "Every subscription to Game Informer now raises funds for St. Jude. We want you to know what that means."
I subscribed to this not knowing about how some of the proceeds go to St. Judes.
Really cool that some of the money goes there.
Even if people don't subscribe to the mag, it might bring people to the charity.
One of the main charities my wife and I donate to. They help a lot of children and being a parent of 5 children I can’t imagine what those parents go through. I’ll probably get a sub to GI because of St Jude and of course because I love video games.

Forge of the Fae just hits all the right notes. Everything I've seen makes me want it.
The Skyward Sword one has to be far the worst. The Madden bullshot looks like crappy cgi from 2006, no one should have expected that one to be real.
I have to disagree on the Gears Of War photo. The game looked much more stunning that those screens. Damn, that game was a masterpiece.
I cant wait to see the remastered version.
Ubisoft are the gods of bullshots...
