Question: Do I have the right to use images from a game (logos, etc.) on my website, if I acknowledge who owns the copyright?

Answer: NO! Not unless the use would fit within the 'fair use' exception under U.S. copyright laws. 'fair use' is copying small pieces of a work for non-commercial, educational purposes like a book critic quoting the part of a book while writing a review about it. In other words, unless you have the copyright owners permission, it is not legal in this case to copy a logo, etc. on your website.
