A couple weeks back I ran an enjoyable feature on Duncan Harris, the video game photographer behind the website DeadEndThrills. Harris takes some of the most evocative, beautiful video game screenshots I’ve ever seen, and we’ve been sharing some of his work each week here.

The Last of Us. Crysis 2. Star Wars: Old Republic. Uncharted 3. Some of the biggest games of the year, and beyond, and this man has done amazing art for the lot of them.
Today, Crytek’s landmark 2007 PC game Crysis was re-released as a downloadable game for both Xbox 360 and PS3.
