What do you guys think? By "This generation" I mean Xbox 360, PS3, Wii and Vista PC. Feel free to post pictures if you want to demonstrate how cool your favourite boxart is exactly. Can be games either released or just with boxart confirmed.

 

 Here are my votes:

Gears of War

Shadowrun

The Halo 3 Legendary Edition (This counts, right? XD)

 

 

What do you guys reckon?

No box-art this generation can beat the box-art of the past.

I can't find it right now, but the European boxart of RE4.  It's almost all black, except for an orange sky and then you see the silhoutte of a man holding a chainsaw...I wish that would have been the American boxart...
 
Oh, I didn't really read the original post.  My favorite boxart of THIS generation would probably be the collector's edition of Lost Planet.

Gears of War, Twilight Princess, and Fall of Man are the best ones out. In the future, Halo 3 Legendary will be the best...then i`ll cover my head with butter and try to slip on that helment....hmmm.....

I honestly can't think of any worth mentioning. Most have sucked, in my opinion. And TP, you actually think the Shadowrun box art is good?

You guys wouldn't know good art design if it bit you in the ass. :(  That box stinks and is generic, it's only the quality of the actual pic which makes it look good.

Twilight Princess wins so far. Although I have a feeling Brawl will have an awesome cover.

And although I have zero desire to play the game, Resistance's cover is pretty nice.

Maybe, but art design can be debated over. NGS box art is exactly how you would expect a videogame box art to be, strapping ninja about to unleash attack. *Yawn* Design wise it's shallow.

Zelda: Twilight Princess. It had a beautiful gold and silver finish along with a greatly crafted artwork piece of human Link going into wolf Link.

Id still take his "typical video game pose" over any of the other boxes in this thread.

he's talking about current gen, and honestly i don't see what's so great about that ICO box art, i mean yes it's great but SOTC kills it.
and IMO TP's art kills everything so far.

How can they release a GOTY edition when it hasn't even been released? Are they expecting to get GOTY or something? I doubt it man. There are too many other games that could take GOTY over Crysis. Maybe if it were a competition of graphics but if not sadly I doubt it'll even come close.
