Close-up key art for Ghostrunner 2. We see the hooded face of a cyborg, which is glowing yellow in slits that form eyes and cheek bones and the character's mouth. Blue light lands on the side of the hood. It's a dingy, atmospheric shot.

A pretty feminine character from the world of Grand Theft Auto 5 bends forward and blows the camera a kiss. The sky is a warm orange and there are palm trees around her.

A close-up image of a door being opened. It's a decorative blue door with ornate brass handles and lock. Through the middle of the door beams the light of a bright sun.

A sweeping vista of an alien planet. It looks quite a lot like a desert scene from Earth, to be honest. The orange sand gives way to huge, jutting rocks. But in the background, there's a huge, low-hanging moon, and a turquoise sky climbing to starry black.

A close-up of Bertie's evil human paladin in Baldur's Gate 3, pulling the most malicious face I think it's possible to pull. The screen around him is tinged with red. Something horrible is about to happen.

A photograph of the stage-like playing area for Life-Size DND. We, as the viewer, peer over a vine-dense wall to see a great sword in a stone before us, some crumbling walls, and a large cut-out of an owlbear. The roof of the playing area is a vine-like mesh, and the floor is taped into a grid.

The companion character Lae'zel from Baldur's Gate 3, close-up and looking suspiciously at the camera. She's splattered in some red paint or is it dried blood? It's not clear.

A piece of game artwork showing several versions of the same character in a tableau, which is very reminiscent of Da Vinci's Last Supper. They all wear a variation of the same pink tracksuit and are all arguing with each other or interacting in some way. It's an energetic image. They are all clones of the same person, living in a base together.
