What do you rate as the best cover art for a game? Often, very good art will attract the customer, like me, while crud cover art often makes the customer look away
Anyway, this is one of my favourites
Cover art without text
Which ones are your favourites?
One of my favorite games with an awesome cover to go with it:
Beyond Good and Evil
:)
The Japanese/PAL boxart for Ico is my personal favourite.

Dirge of Cerberus, no competition, hehehehehe.
I always like the original Metal Gear Solid cover art for the PSX. It was super simple and unique in America.
What was the cover art for Ico that you speak of? My copy (The rerelese of Ico, with SoTC) looks odd with the art
BTW, the cover art I showed was from Castlevania: Curse of Darkness for those who may be wondering
EDIT: Whoops didnt see the link

when you build a Metropolis of your very own and hit the night button the scenery enters another dimension (well not literally of course)
Hands down winner, muthasmurfers. The BEST cover there is
Edit: GODDAMMIT! Oh, well.......hold on, I need to find a new one.

Best. Game. Ever.
Zeldy, you have a Cube? That game, hmm, I might try to find that, I didnt know it was on the Cube...
Shadow of the Colossus.
I've always really liked the Chrono Cross box art, too.
My brother does. I doubt you'll find PSO in the shops, it was out years ago. It still gets hacked though, just like the DC version. :(Quote:

But don't get episode 3 xD Its crap awful. Totally different.
My other favourite boxarts (Out of my collection) Vagrant Story, Star Ocean 3, Silent Hill 4, Haunting Ground, Devil May Cry 2, Shadow of the Colossus
On a side note, Tales of Eternia's boxart sucks, yet its a goddamn awesome game...
EDIT: Zeldy, you replied just before I did XD
Yeah, Phantasy Star isnt sold new anymore, the only new game that looks good is Geist...
Im so getting Twilight Princess...the demo cover's boxart is hella awesome
Yeah.. My brother already has Geist. He's obsessed I tell you. He loved it and it looked good.Quote:

Dynasty Warriors 5 and Drakengard have the best covers of my games.
I really need more Cube games...I want to get the cube versions of Prince of Persia 2 and 3, simply because Cube is better xD
If I want to see the bouns features of RE4, i'll just borrow Zannith's PS2 copy..
RE4 had a cool box art for the collectors edition...
I particularily like this:

The game's crap, but you know, it looks pretty.
I saw a video review of that one. What a strange game, indeed.Quote:

Ico is such a wicked game to play on a Friday night with a couple of beers and your mates, arguing over what to do next :D
I like Shadow of The Colossus. Very pretty. Also, both Katamari Damacy and We Love Katmari have adorable covers and I want to hug them until they burst.
Not the best but I think it's pretty and I loved the game. http://images.rottentomatoes.com/ima.../44/602244.jpg

Shadow Hearts: Covenant, it's simple but has something more covers need: Red Heads

US' Final Fantasy :cat:
Mine wasn't quite like that... But yeah. I too loved the NES's FF box-art... Mmm
here in PAL areas, we get the white with a logo for FF games...FFIV advance has been the sole exception
That's my favorite, too. Although, honorable mention goes to this game, even though I have never even played it.Quote:
