When Revenge went all "gritty" for whatever reason every game seems to be, I was a little sad.

You would think they would try to release images that communicate the look and feel of the game. Since all the media they chose to release looks "desolate", I think it's a pretty safe bet that that's how the game looks throughout (or at least for a significant portion of it).

Where did you get a copy of Gears of War and Resistance? I've only seen the demo level for Gears and haven't seen much of Resistance at all. Are you telling me you've played all the way through Gears and the color palate remains the same throughout, or are you making an assertion on game content you haven't actually witnessed? Wow!

It could be a dozen shots of Kirby's Magical Acid Trip and they'd still be brown squares when reduced to single pixels. I'm not saying that there's a lot of muted colors in video games these days, but the author's assertion that reducing this selection of screenshots to single pixels proves his point is simply wrong and misleading.
