 You can use copyrighted material for teaching, parody, criticism, news or commentary under fair dealing or fair use doctrines without obtaining permission of the copyright owner.  Of course the laws are regional so you should check in your country to be sure.  Also, there isn't really anything to prevent a company from trying to sue you or at least siccing a lawyer on you... just to scare you into "compliance".  That being said, if you have the knowledge and confidence that your usage falls within the fair use doctrine, you shouldn't have anything to worry about.

 I wouldn't think that would be the case but I'm neither a finance lawyer nor an intellectual property lawyer.  If you plan to make big money from your site, get some actual legal advice.

Yeah memberships would not come into place for a few years from now if i even choose to add them.

Thanks for helping me i always thought posting images would be illegal, but now reading into copyright law on review sites seems i can

Do you have a wallet address i can tip you at, since your help was very much appreciated.

 I have a wallet address in my profile but it's not really necessary to tip me.  I enjoy helping others.

One thing that I suggest is that you should complete a game multiple times before reviewing it. You have to be an expert and know all the subtleties.
