o wellz, thanks anyways!

Is there a point to 1600x1200 when the source of the image (at least for the console games) is only 640 x 480? (Or is it 800 x 600?)

*edit* am I mistaken re: the source of the image?

Yes, you probably are. They are NOT screencaps of games. They appear to either be scans of promotional print material distributed by the companies, or pre-prepared high-res "PR" images. I've seen some stores print up their own "coming soon" boxes for games, using some of those pictures as image sources (in the case of the various SC2 images).

I'm somewhat disturbed that they: don't have 1600x1200, and they charge for membership. I question whether they have licenses from the copyright holders of those images to distribute them for for-profit purposes, or even distribute them at all.

Nice pics, thanks for posting this deal, but it seems to me that the webmaster is really just only out to make a quick buck.

Plus, he's an idiot, he thinks that there is such thing as a "virtual machine for javascript". Actually, that's the VM for *Java* update patch, and has nothing to do with Java*script*.

But hey, a few free pics are good.

I was wondering the SAME exact thing.

I logged in fine. Great looking wallpapers too! I'll be downloading for a while.

meh - not that big of a selection (you'd think if they charged they would have a LOT) and I also wondered how they could charge money.

Is this deal still going?

I logged in as:

p: thanks

and I got an "account does not exist" error message. Perhaps the site realized that many people don't subscribe to CGW?

[Vivi]

*bump* not a bad deal but then again the idea of charging for wallpapers seem kind of silly especially considering all the available wallpaper sites out there offering it for free.

Gamewallpapers has been around a while. Would be surprised if they were hosting this copyrighted content without permission for this long without getting into trouble.

Welcome aboard!
I am no expert but I would think a google search would yield plenty of options.
Stay around & post some more.
