While games like Uncharted, Red Dead Redemption, Fallout New Vegas all have the same cover...the guy with the gun facing the camera, there some standout covers that don't scream 'hey look at me! I'm a fast paced shooter!'

I guess marketing decsions explain why America gets the worst box covers versus their Japanese and UK counterparts. Maybe some consumers need to see 'hey I'm a shooter' when strolling through a game store, lol.

On that note, what are some of your favorite box covers?

A few of mine:

Catherine.

Boom chicka won won.

But seriously, Altus' games usually have some really good cover art.

With some interesting use of color...

Interesting topic.

There's no need to be anti-fps here. All of my favorite covers are mostly fps games.

The cover art of two games that I really like are Catherine and the Metal Gear Solid Series.

Edit. Also the Blazblue Continuum Shift Extend cover art.

Traditional PC boxart without the silly platform bar, ESRB ratings, critic quotes, and whatever else that gets in the way of the box and the artwork.
