THIS!

Yeah, sorry, I love a good presentation in a game and cover art is, of course, part of that. Awesome box art for what's going to be an awesome game.

Hey, POST YOUR OWN FAVORITE BOX ARTS OF THE YEAR! Or just disagree with me because people around here seem to hate everything Square-Enix.

I like the concept of the Boarderlands box art but the execution just 'aint happening. Color combinations are just kind of... bleh. I dislike the art style for the people, anyway so I guess I'm a little bias.

I think that fact that it's not completely filled with color is what makes it so striking. Plus, if your a geek and have played the games then it's sort of symbolic of the fading away of memories and stuff like that. :P

That looks terrible. No charracter going off the page. More than three different fonts. Small print. It's uninteresting to look at.

Is there a Resistance game that DOESNT get better box art in Europe? The American box art for the series is very plain and generic (which kind of says something about the game itself :P)

I think people like box arts that kind of blow-up in your face or one's that are "badass". I just like the subtlety of the KH one. The shading in the clouds, the fading of the color around the tree and how there are little highlights of the series scattered around. Looks nice.

I think it looks a little incomplete, but who am I to talk. I can't identify one I like the most.

That box art looks really uninspired and quickly put together. If it wasn't kingdom hearts, would you still think it looks that great?

Close enough, but I like IB's idea more. :P

BTW, I looked for a box art I thought was unique, and I ended up finding this. I don't think I'll ever own the game, but shoot that box art is creepy.

While both borderlands and DA:O have a similar "images in splash" theme, they still look *nothing* alike. And no mater who came first, DA:O's still looks MUCH better imo.

The overall concept is good but I don't really like the color scheme and the title :?. (I mean the way it's presented not what it says :P).

Again, IMO ;)

I dont realy like it, the big "New Hero, New Multiplayer, New Campaing" stuff looks out of place. And ODST is probably one of the worst titles for a game if you ask me. "Watcha playing?" "Eerm... Halo 3, Ooo-Deee-Sss-Tee"
Halo 3: Recon sounded better
