    i was lookin for games for the gamecube im about to buy for my nephews for x mas. i came across this at walmart.com. click on the pics for the game, i swear somebody took pics of the tv set and they really do look like ass c'mon, one of the biggest chain stores in america can't even present the product right. at least steal somebody else's pics that look good

  3. How would you take a screen shot of a console game anyway...just out of curiosity?? I know the actual companies can hook up PC's and stuff...but for your average beaver, how would you do it!?

    If they were smart they'd take PC screen shots using the machines they developed it on. :P

    I'd think they'd get promotional stills from the game developer. It certainly would be a daunting task for Walmart to go through and capture stills from each game they sell. I'm sure they scaled them down for that page, so maybe the person who did it just didn't know what they were doing? It really does look like they were taken by pointing a disposable camera at the tv screen.

    yeah it would be a pain to capture each, but it would still look 10 fold better than that lookin at it i really think some retard took stills, it's just funny to me how some people get paid in their posistion to do a job like that. of course i havnt met many people that work for wally world with a whole lot of commen sense

    I agree with adam. I doubt anyone at WM made those, although the web guy should have asked for better shots.

    Hello,

    Yeah I think adam's right. Get the professional ad campaign stills. Heck a scan from a video game magazine would have been clearer!
