A render of the infamous G-man from the Half-Life universe, from the series' most recent outing, Half-Life Al. A slim white male with neat cropped hair, wearing a suit, stares ominously at the camera. He has an unhealthy pallor, as if he's smoked for far too long.

An MS Paint-looking image of a young feminine face being poked in the cheek by the finger of a hand presumably controlled by the player. It's weird. It's WarioWare.

A house phone off the receive on a hallway table. The scene is dark and the phone is lit by a torchlight beam of some kind. A photo of a man's face stands next to the phone. It's a creepy scene.

The real-life plastic Pip-Boy watch thing that Bethesda sold with a fancy edition of Fallout 4. It's like a forearm brace rather than a watch. A camo-green plastic thing with a large - and actually working - LCD display on it, which shows a menu in black and neon green.

Title artwork for Bloodborne: The Old Hunters. The player character sits before us on a chair, head bowed, sword held in scabbard across their lap. They wear typical Victorian travelling gear: long coat, long boots, tricornered hat. They sit alone in the middle of a large room lined by shelves and candles.

Concept art from Mirror's Edge, showing main character faith reaching out and touching the mirrored wall of a tall, shiny glass building. She sees her reflection - black vest, tattooed arm, bob haircut - against the backdrop of the skyscraper city behind her. There's a lot of piercing sky blue in the image.
