8. Summary
I think that this screen shot is the most effective out of the two as the other one is only
the name of the game so there if more going on this screen shot shows that the game
is set in an urban environment, it also shows a bit of gun play from the game. The other
advert screen shot is the name and this shows how from the style of the text you can
tell which game is being advertised.
