Favourite Video Game Boxart

Tue Apr 19, 2005 11:22 pm

So... in your opinion, what video game has the best boxart? It can be any game, any game at all. From the N64 to the N-Gage, from the PS to the Xbox. It can be any boxart. Post your favourite.

One of my favourites:

It is just... cool. I also like Katamari Damacy's Boxart.

Note: http://www.gamespot.com is a really good place for Video Game boxarts.
Also, I am taking a break from Video Game Versus for awhile. Many threads like this will pop up inthe future. (Example: Top 10 Underrated Games, or something like that)

i loved the original boxart for dawn of war.
so simple, yet so thought provoking.

(for the record, it was a black box with "Dawn of war" written in games workshops green warhammer font.
(you can see that on the current version -the warhammer 40,000 bit)
with the imperial eagle in the background, in a slighlty lighter shade of black (was rather hard to see)

this is the new one

unfortuently they decided to go with the second one, admitedly it makes it a bit more obvious as to what the games about

edit: just found the original boxart, cant really see the eagle on it though.

edit again: ok, its not written in the 40k font.

Katamary Damacy! Katamary Damacy! *squeal* I mean come on...it has COWS on it! And a rainbow! And...a katamary! (My friend bought the game for the cover art alone.

)

And of course, the cover of FFX is really cool. The Brotherhood sword looks amazing.

Wacky Worlds, despite being an amazing game, had a cool box cover art. Sonic's painting a dolphin! Come on, that's just fun.

My friend is really obsessed with that game and he displays the box on his room. O__O (I still have yet to play it.) The cover art is aweomse though.

That would make me a very happy little Sarah, it would.

Basically, any old game covers are awesome. Perhaps just because they bring back memories.
