If the wallpaper says the game’s name, it’s no good in my opinion.. especially if it HAS to say the game’s name for you to even have a clue what it’s from.

Where are some of the great RPG games? The Final Fantasy series as well as Zelda have some beautiful scenes that would make fantastic backgrounds.
The Halo one isn’t very good either – and all three games have some beautifully created backgrounds within the game so I’m surprised that one was picked.
I think many games were overlooked and frankly, some of the above aren’t that impressive and too logo heavy.

ReplyLisa July 15th, 2009
Very nice, though I’d say that some of these are catalogued wrong (eg Gears of War is not an MMO, and most would categorize Fallout 3 under RPG — it is a Bethesday game, after all), and quite a few overlooked. Also, BOOOOO on movie video games. No gamer worth his/her salt plays ‘em for any length of time.
