Some of the cool box arts suffer from "the-ugly-logo-disease"...

 

[belgurdo]

Link to big version plz

 

[Prince of Space]

SH4 ain't too bad.

 

[BuddyC]

just looking at phantom brave makes me want to play disgaea and la pucelle....

..must....write....not...play....

 

[Agent Dormer]

Paper Mario 2 has a nice looking logo/box art.

SH4's US cover is an improvement over SH3's US cover.

 

[jenov4]

From this bunch, the best looking covers are:

Phantom Brave
Armored Core
Paper Mario 2

The worst one is Catwoman. Or maybe it's because we've been seeing the movie marketing blitz for the past month. Ugh..

 

[clipunderground]

Love the Baten Kaitos box art...

 

[dark10x]

The Armored Core box is awesome looking!

I'm a bit disappointed with The Room boxart, though...but whatever.

I still can't believe Catwoman is actually real, though. It just looks so incredibly terrible that you'd almost think some studio is just playing a big joke on everyone. :\

Something I've noticed about US covers of games and movies for years: Why do all of them feature heads or people staring at you?

 

[DaCocoBrova]

What's this new Armored Core about? I'm still waiting for another big mech fix. VOOT still remains king.

*Gets flashbacks from the catwoman script thread and starts laughing uncontrollably*

 

[DIrtyWeasel]

I've never played any of these Mario RPG's, but I like the box art for Paper Mario 2.

Dual Analog FPS Controls!

 

[psikonetik]

The best without doubt is the baten kaitos one.

Silent hill 4 is good too

 

[u_neek]

The Baten Kaitos is good but the logo ruins everything! It's so messy and ugly

Probably because we are biologically hard-wired to recognize faces. Which means, from a marketing standpoint, a game cover with a face, especially one looking at you, will draw your attention on shelf. And if nearly every game cover is fighting for your attention this way, you would put your own game at a disadvantage if it didn't have a face on the cover.

Of course, if the box actually contains a great game (say GT4) the cover probably doesn't matter so much.

Dual Analog FPS Controls!

Woah! Twinstick-esque or Halo-esque?

 

[TheDiave]

I love rock and roll.

 

[Kiriku]

I don't like the Baten Kaitos boxart at all. Looks like a mess, no real structure, hard to actually make out what it is. Also, I don't like the dark purple haze at all...it somehow reminds me of the typical "poison" color in Japanese RPG's.

 

[FortNinety]

I could do without the face and stupid hair.

Also....

Looks like the guy from Soul Reaver.

 

[Raise Havok]

BK has awesome boxart. However, I am dissapointed with the made in 2-seconds Silent Hill 4 logo.

C'mon Sony, you can do better than this.
