A question - Where can you get decent game pictures acceptable for a review, i.e on es with no watermarks?

Canada is probably fine.

Images come from the games db. If there aren't any in there for your game, contact another staff member to help you out. Will go through all the training and stuff once someone is accepted.

You'll also need a couple of other things:

1. Sexiness

2. Spunk

3. Spirit

If you have the three S values, you can make a good reviewer. I look forward to seeing who is put on the staff.

Amp316 would make a great Wii reviewer, although he doesn't own a DS.

There are numerous assets available to press, including FTP sites, gamespress.com, and other private access sites. Also if the situation is desperate we can request screenshots from the publishers, as we are actively in contact with pretty much every publisher in the industry. Also many of the good non-watermarked screens should already be uploaded to the games database, which is where you will embed from for reviews.

I could see myself reviewing PSP games! I could fit a few reviews in my schedule.

You can use photobucket or any other image editor to crop the picture in order to eliminate the watermark. Is that a good way?

No. Screens cannot be cropped or altered. They need to be displayed in original resolution, and if there is a watermark you need to look for a different screen or a version without the watermark. Again, almost everyone has FTP sites with up-to-date screens for press.
