I would argue that this is a kind of 'announcement' of the game
which is covered by quotation rights under Berne. It is certainly
extremely common today to show small screenshots when announcing,
discussing or flaming a game.
Of course that's just my opinion but I'm afraid you will not get
a more definite answer. Proprietary game licenses likely do not
contain permission to make screenshots, and I very much doubt
their creators would bother with giving you specific permission.
