One more thought on MINIMUM standards for a new page

On PC titles all you have to do is hit Print Screen, yet pages for PC titles are just as lacking in photos as most other games.

Anything released on the DS isn't going to be detailed enough to get a page. The only PSP titles I've seen are GTA: LCS and GTA: VCS, which were both ported to the PS2.

Well, yeah, not capping a PC game IS just plain lazy. But like I said, console games are much harder. I skimped on a video capture kit and my test caps are terrible.

There's at least two Call of Duty DS games on the site. One has caps, but they're probably from the developer.

Trust me on this one, using printscreen to get game screencaps is ludicrously difficult. You have to alt tab to an image program and copy the screenprint every time.

Say you want a particular frame of an animation; with a film you just advance frame by frame until you get it. With a video game, you need to hammer on a real screen cap button(ie, output img file to a folder somewhere) and hope for the best.

Seriously that RS: Lockdown page is bugging me. I might have to download that from steam just to correct the page, but damn have I heard that game sucks.

No not really-just play it in Windows Media Player and play in windowed mode, I've screen-capped and completed over 45 films and every single one was done using print-screen.
