Favourite Box Art
« 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)


I thought the Japanese RE4 cover was alright and while looking for it, I came across this one.

I like this one a lot more.

Some of the covers for the Romance of the Three Kingdoms games are cool too.


My favorite is 10.

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.



Too bad I only played the first stage!  :P

Though I've never played Okami or The World..., I've always liked their covers.

Metal Gear 3


And I also loved the RE5 cover


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.


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. 


This one is beautiful.
