    Default REVERSIBLE COVERS

    Does anyone else love these? I pretty much always flip them over because I'm just so happy they give me the option. I seem to be spotting it more lately.

    What are some of your favourite reversible game covers?

    I really like the Fairy Fencer F one


    There are a few others that have it too. Omega Quintet, Lord of Magna, Arcana Heart 3, Story of Seasons has a spot the difference game, a few others. Even Fallout 4 has one it seems!

    I can honestly say I did not realise this was a thing.

    Same. Except I have played it.

    I'm partial to Bioshock Infinite's reverse cover. It's a monochrome variant that has the look of a poster from the game's time period.

    I'll have to check my PS3 games more closely in case there are more variations lurking around. I didn't know about the option for Ground Zeroes, for instance.

    If I ever play the Mass Effect series I expect I'll make the cover match my chosen Shepard.

    I always check my covers on games and change to the other cover if the option is there. I usually think it looks better. I can't think of good examples though because I forget after a while that the cover I always see on my games is not the only one.

    Europe gets the short straw as usual. TTT2 has a reverse, but not in Europe. Xenoblade has a reverse cover, but it's just a 3D render, and there's no text on the spine.

    I've heard there is a reverse cover on FF13 too, but I couldn't see anything on my copy.

    I'm bored so I'm looking through my games now.

    Simple & Boring
    GTA V
    Bayonetta

    Detailed but basically just art of an action scene
    Uncharted 3
    Uncharted 2

    Actually looks like an alternative cover
    Duke Nukem Forever

    Very similar to the main cover
    Resistance 3

    Nothing
    Arkham City
    FFXIII
    FIFA 10
    RE5
    Army of Two
    Assassin's Creed Heritage Collection
    FFXIII-2
    Tomb Raider
    Far Cry 2
    Far Cry 3
    Far Cry 4
    FFXIV:ARR - CE
    FF Type-0

    Nothing nearly as good as that Xenoblade one in the OP.

    To be fair, you guys usually get the better cover art, anway.

    For some games, sure. That's still not an excuse! We should get everything if just as an apology for the delayed releases of the past.

    Covers? Wait, what? I'm sorry, I got stuck in the download age. : (

    No more wonderful cases for me.

    I was freaking out looking for a game one day, like heart sinking because I really like it and I thought I may have lost it at school or something


    Then I remembered it was a download >.>
