Will A Monetized Video Game Review Blog Fall Under “fair Use”?

Published June 23, 2009 | By Editor

Hi, I’m planning on starting a video game blog in which I would review, preview an post basic info on games, products, events and things like news in the gaming community.
Now my question is: since I am using this for review preview and comment, would this fall under the “fair use” doctrine even if I were to use google adsense and affiliate marketing?
As long as I only show images that are not in original size or are scanned from the actual product and write my own information, would this be protected under fair use or the “de minimis rule”?

Yes. Be sure to state that everything is presented under the fair use policy in the header and in the pages of the reviews.
