Title: Favourite Box Art
Post by: Tuffty on April 04, 2009, 03:07:58 PM
Ultimately it should mean nothing to the enjoyment of a game, but some times, the front cover of a game can be a selling point. So I wanna know which are some of the best gaming box arts out there. Whether they just look cool or they are ones that caught your eye. My favourites:

:thumbsup Cool thread idea. Yeah, the game is what's important, but no reason to have a shitty box design. Some of mine.
Shadow of the Colossus (US) (http://img22.imageshack.us/img22/5518/sotcboxart.jpg)
I thought the Japanese RE4 cover was alright and while looking for it, I came across this one. (http://img25.imageshack.us/img25/5217/re4box042907.jpg) I like this one a lot more.
Some of the covers for the Romance of the Three Kingdoms games are cool too. (http://img19.imageshack.us/img19/1874/36e9024128a004fe1690301.jpg)(http://img18.imageshack.us/img18/6126/514zx7pwg3lss400.jpg)

I really couldn't remember any cover that looked anything better than normal. So I dug into my stash and found this motherf@@$^@^!! :twothumbs I got the one on the right, it has a shiny glow in those rays of light. which makes it kill.

Though I've never played Okami or The World..., I've always liked their covers. (http://www.imgur.com/files/090405/250px-TP_Wii.jpg)(http://www.imgur.com/files/090405/ssbb.jpg) (http://imgur.com)

Metal Gear 3 (http://www.imfdb.org/images/thumb/2/23/Metal_Gear_Solid_3_Cover.jpg/300px-Metal_Gear_Solid_3_Cover.jpg)
And I also loved the RE5 cover (http://blog.nothingbutsoftware.com/wp-content/Images/re5-ps3-box-cover.jpg)
Both characters look really badass like this, like they ready to shoot the hell out everything in their way!

The PAL Resident Evil 4 cover is great, along with the ICO cover. I always loved Katamari Damacy's cover too.

Still the best. Such a sexy case and it's timeless. (http://img822.imageshack.us/img822/7089/gamemgs1.jpg) (http://img822.imageshack.us/i/gamemgs1.jpg/)
I liked this one too. Had a plastic sleeve and could be moved and the case looked like a bakery box and the CD looked like a donut. (http://img710.imageshack.us/img710/7533/virtualspringfield.jpg) (http://img710.imageshack.us/i/virtualspringfield.jpg/)
This one is beautiful. (http://img14.imageshack.us/img14/7713/ootw.jpg) (http://img14.imageshack.us/i/ootw.jpg/)
