I have to say, that it wouldn't feel nice, if someone used screenshots taken by me without a permission. It's just that sites like IGN and GameSpot are huge. Maybe it is better to just ask for the shots.

Capture Screenshots?  Easy, just grab a TV card for PC at BestBuy or somplace for thirty bucks, plug it in a PCI slot on your computer and hook up your console to the video input on the card.  Snap a screenshot of the game on the monitor using SnaGIT or some screen capture utility.  Easy as pie.

Sounds expensive. I could actually just hook up my console through my vcr, and record the game onto vhs, then transfer that onto my computer via a digital/analogue converter and take stills from the video. Crappier quality though. BTW, one more question Critic: How do you get all your images the same size?

[VideoGameCritic]

Also any graphics or photo editing tool will let you change the size of your pictures. I think I use 320 x 240.

You can get a TV card that lets you take snapshots for around $40, maybe less.

Have ANY OF you ever heard of copy right infringements?

Yes you need to have permission to use OTHER PEOPLES work.

The napster mentally lives on.

Most screenshots come from press kits distributed freely by the developer.  These websites did not make the games, they have no copyright control over the material because if they tried to exert it there becomes the tricky legal issue of them not holding any of the rights to the games.
