Came in expecting a screenshot from a game I've never played or even heard of before. Instead see a screenshot for an unusual game I've actually played. DaVillain- beat me to it though. D:
@R4gn4r0k: I had to cheat to figure that one out, never played it before. I know the answer, but I wont spoil it unless enough people have given up.
I had long forgotten about this game. But there is a reboot on Steam early access at the moment, and seeing its gameplay it made me remember just how fan the original actually was.

If google image search wasn't a thing this would be somewhat cool :/
Exactly. Drag and drop = profit. This would only work if you're taking your own screen caps.
I posted two of my screenshots, you can tell because they are in 21:9.
It's difficult to forget that “all time,” as video games are concerned, isn't a very long time at all. This fact poses something of a unique list-making challenge: How do you size up, let alone rank numerically, the history of a medium still more or less in its infancy? How, for instance, do you compare the limited efficiencies of an 8-bit side-scroller to the gleaming HD vistas of a next-gen open world? How do you survey everything that video games are capable of, every idiosyncratic way they've been shaped and contorted, and come up with a list that accommodates all of it? How do you account for outmoded styles or formats, or obsolete technologies, or milestones beginning to show their age? The evolutionary considerations alone are staggering. Consider the extremes: How do you compare Portal to Pong?
Well, it may be that this sort of flattening of historical perspective is impossible, at least without serious concessions to personal conviction, but in any case, those of us who contributed to this list felt it in our collective best interest not to tip the scales in favor of honoring the past. We wanted to exalt those games we each felt are most exemplary of the medium's virtues, whether they be richly emotional narrative experiences or invigorating bouts of tactile fun. It stands to reason that as this medium enters early maturity it will reach new heights of artistry and sophistication. The landmarks and breakthroughs of gaming history—those prototypal games whose influence continues to loom over contemporary mechanics and design—are the shoulders on which every modern developer sits, forever stretching up to something new. In other words, video games keep getting better.
Uncharted 2 makes that list by all aacounts and we as an industry and fans of this medium celebrate its greatness.

Nope, we already got word from Naughty Gods who rightfully apologized. Honest mistake when you are working ona TOP 5 GOAT franchise like Uncharted which is an action-adventure third-person shooter platform video game developed by Naughty Dog and published by Sony Computer Entertainment for the PlayStation 3 game console., Also the pic is labeled uncha.jpg, but it doesn't matter, we all know Uncharted is a top 5 GOAT and AC is not. Honest mistake by you.

That's odd praise for Ass Creed 3
Huh? That's obviously a picture from ACIV
No, it's clearly ACIV in that picture. Right there in the middle

Oh so you were trying to be funny by posting a nefarious post?
But you brought up an interesting point, not many people realize Uncharted is a TOP 5 GOAT and a multiple AAAe 9.0 Editors Choice Award winning game here.
Easy to understand why you would though, and isnt it great the meta game is over on GS now? Doesnt matter what Uncharted 4 scores here, Cow's can go to whatever source they want and celebrate its greatness under that premise.
Time to make another #legendary Thank you thread...
