Box Art Hunt Activity
GameSpot's first image-guessing game gives us the opportunity to test your box art knowledge! Box Art Hunt is a new activity that will be held in the General Games Discussion forum each month. Also, you do not have to get each of them right. You may guess what you think the image is to receive the new emblem as long as you have eight games mentioned.
