    You'd have to create them yourself. Since it's used as a review, it should fall under "fair use."

    Okay,thanks!

    And what about game names? I will make only first person shooter reviews. Am I allowed to make a navigation button, named, for example, "left 4 dead", or "counter-strike"? (when somebody click on this navigation button, he will be redirected to left 4 dead section, which contains l4d reviews, skins, files, etc.)

    Yes, you can always do something like mysite.com/left-4-dead, just as long as you dont create a domain like left4deadgame.com or left4dead.mysite.com
