    What??? That Pac Man boxart is smurfing awesome!!!!!! Same with the Donkey Kong ones and those two really creepy monster ones just posted.

    What I don't get is why the L4D2 boxart is so bad. Sure it's kind of boring, but ... ?

    It's meant to be the other way around. It got censored because two fingers up with their backs facing is an offensive sign, so the art was reversed. Personally, I think the European cover looks better than the American anyway On second thoughts, the original version looks a bit better

    It's only fair that Europe gets prettier box art than North America! You guys get so much that we miss out on - plus the games are released earlier in NA!

    The artwork isn't poorly made, no, but I do prefer both the style and atmosphere of the first. THe second just screams "OMG BUY ME CAUSE IM smurfING HARDCORE FIGHTER YO".

    I like the American L4D2 box art better, and Ive never heard of holding fingers like that meant something offensive *cough*retarded*cough*

    Also, the L4D2 box art was included for good box at, not bad box art. The page includes good and bad and that cover is classified as good.

    There were a lot of ugly boxart back in the day. I don't understand either why an old hillbilly stereotype is on the front of a sci-fi shooter.
