How the hell did this happen? I'm sure there are worse boxarts, but for a great game coming from a developer known for their artistic prowess, it's pretty terrible.

Best-


Perfectly captures the essence of pure awesome and joy that the game possesses.

orange box is the worse, looks like a pc shovelware boxart, prime 3 was bad as well, liked the ld/temp logo they were using and it could have just expanded on that

mass effect is surprisingly bad consider MS standards

The only game I've seen in Canada where the bilingual thing is taken this far.
I almost feel guilty giving it as a Christmas gift to my little cousin. It just looks so... lame.

I think Orange Box did the game a disservice, but it's not the worst by any means.
Hotel Dusk: Room 215 was weak compared to the JP release, so was Phantom Hourglass compared to the EU box.

Nothing really impressed me, I suppose Folklore's was nice.

I really dislike Halo 3's and Crackdown's boxarts. I think the best one is Mario Galaxy.

Im going with COD4 (PS3 edition)



It captures perfectly what makes the game so awesome. Well, multi wise anyways.

What I don't like is this one, though clever, and certainly not the worst:



Gran Turismo already had that kind of cover, and got away with it.



PGR isn't nearly established enough to pull something so minimal, as most wouldn't really "get" the game unless they knew what it was beforehand. Could it be why it bombed incredibly hard in October? Nah, but it didn't help.

I would say for sheer absurdity in a modern box art, that's the top of my list.

Am I the only one who quite liked the Prime 3 box? Apart from the silly inclusion of Samus' head in the top left corner, I didn't think it was that bad.

I came into this thread thinking some people are going to post that as THE WORST. People hated that in the boxart thread for some reason.

The worst is definitely the Orange Box, and specifically the Canadian version (Le Boite Orange).

and about the the only game that can get away with calling you gay.(Which easily makes it the best box art of the year, makes me smile every time i look at it)I still can't believe no-one at Nintendo noticed and changed it.

Sucks there aren't any clear pictures of the US cover of KOFXI, but is really good.



Also Ninja Gaiden Sigma cover is good:

while one could count numerous games in the kiddie/licensed/general crapheap for worst box art (High School Musical, redneck hunting, Imagine Babiez etc), I think The Orange Box takes all thanks to the horrid design being attached to a game of such awesomeness. you expect shitty games to have shitty boxart, but Half Life 2 and portal? C'mon now.....
