Predictably, only box worth looking at is Etrian Odyssey.

They haven't rotated first PS3 ones either IIRC. I know Infamous 2 has been there from the start and LBP2 too I think?

that's just last year's cover with a silhouette to represent this year's cover athlete as it's fan voted
Fuck that, I hate making decisions.
lol "gotta fuck goto a website and click a button, fuck that!"
That silhouette stance looks silly.
Or he's shooting his spine out.

You know, they could have done a lot more with Infinite's boxart, but for what it's worth I do like the design of the lead protagonist a heck of a lot.
they should have put handyman instead of dewitt, it will be parallel with the bioshock boxart

Invalid comparison. No half tuck.

Above the ESRB logo, the books looks like Samus's helmet.

I completely forgot that there is a new god of war coming out.
yeah, the hell is up with the logo?
they basically did a direct localization of the japanese logo
i can really appreciate the 'fire emblem' part with the white on black text, but the 'awakening' part is pretty bad. it probably could have been regular instead of bold, and without italics as well.
The placement doesn't feel right either. maybe it should have been placed under the right side of emblem, or the left part of fire.
if it was possible to replicate that small text, it could work too. maybe something like this
something else i'm now seeing is how the fire emblem box, aside from being isolated, doesn't have the white border around it, and the line strikes through most of it, until it ends on the final character. the border in the american box is distracting, and the box itself is too wide. the treatment in japan worked fairly well despite being a bit odd.

Strangely better just with the shift in color, but I still feel like it needs something else.
someone thought a slightly rotated logo would cause negative consumer reactions
It's so bad. Ugh. Great art, too.

The klobb.... So awesome.
Personally i think its the best looking box on this page....

Wait is EA putting out 2 golf games this year?
I too have absolutely no idea of what's going on with that.
But I don't think it's two games... I think they're just weird.
I think it's a special edition of the normal Tiger Woods golf game with a bunch of DLC other people usually have to pay for.
dat orange/blue contrast
