Worst box-art of the Year

I got the idea of this thread from ONLYDOD. :idea:

So, what do you think the worst box-art of the year is? For an already released or upcoming game for any system. Posting the box-art would be cool, too. :lol:

I don't think those are really that bad at all. :|

Now that's BAD.

This is a fun thread, but the Geow2 and R2 Boxes look okay, they aren't spectacular, but that Harvey Birdman shot proves we can do much better than to troll Cows and Lemmings.SolidTy

Yeah, it could turn into Cows vs. Lemmings. :P

I love GC2 and I love you Stardock, but what the hell were you thinking when you made this box?

Because it's not on my console.

Duh. Why else would someone hate it?

I'm pretty sure that's the reasoning, I just wanted to see him say it.

It's fail because the subject is so easy. But for some reason they decided to cut the head in half, cover the boobs with big letters and then throw some feces on her.

No, its because it looks really bad and uninspired. Theres nothing else to it.whocares4peace

Just like the Fable 2 boxart, right? They more or less have the same concept. A vertical mirror with the good guy on top, bad guy on the bottom. :roll:

I like the R2 one because it's like Heaven and Hell.

I think it's awesome, to each his own!

wow....even in box art, a Sony brand product rips off from someone else. :lol:

just flip "The Princess Bride" DVD over and you have the skies in their respective places. The movies name will still be legible as well.

Seeing how The princess bride is from 1987, I don't see how Fable could have started it all, since it was released in... 2004?

Danm you young entrepeneurs, always taking my wonderful ideas and twisting them around to get a slice of SW's opinions! J/K!

But anyway, I would have to say, aside from all the shovelware and games nobody cares about, Mirrors Edge, it looks like something an unsigned Japanese pop singer would have made on Paint for when she sells her music on the street.

How about limiting it to worst box art of the year for quality titles? In this regard, I would have to go with Dead Space. One of my most anticipated titles to be sure, however, the bland, drab box art leaves a lot to be desired, I think. Good thing you do not play the box art though, aye?:P

this is so bad that its actually good (or whatever that means :P )

I honestly don't get why the Harvery Birdman Box-Art gets bashed so bad. It pretty clear that those who do bash it have never seen or don't understand how well it relates to the show and how awesome that makes it.ex-centrick
