Hey there,

I am starting up a gaming website that will review older games from the past. I am going for a review style that is not really in existence at this point. Anyways in my reviews I would like to have a part where I can refer people to resources for the game I am discussing. I would really like to use you guys as a regular resource. How can I handle mentioning you guys? Would it be possible to host 1 of the covers for each game I review, and then link back here for the rest? Or would you rather I host a reduced size image of the cover, and refer back here? I really enjoy the work you guys do, so just let me know :)

I'm not sure how hosting and bandwidth goes in the sake of web development, but I think it would be fine if you grabbed a few low-res covers from Google (or our cover previews) to put on your site, then linked back here for the rest. And be sure to give credit to the cover artists that work so hard here :)

Feel free to grab the thumbnail cover we use for your site. I actually don't crosslink between my game review site and TCP (mostly because I'm busy and stupid ;) ). I also don't reuse artwork between the 2 sites.
