So, hey, I've got a question.

Is there a decent repository for box art out there somewhere? I'm not talking somebody like Amazon, but a site where you can quickly and easily find cover art for games past, present, or future?

Second question I guess would be: would anybody have actual interest in such a thing if there isn't already one? I always visit these threads because it's interesting to see what covers for upcoming games are looking like, but I wonder how many people would then care about past covers.

Part of the reason I'm asking is this: I'm currently working on Play's new website, and one of the things I'm doing now is trying to get cover art up for some of the games we've got. In trying to find art for some of these games, I'm having a heck of a time finding nice quality versions out there on the net. The new system I've put together for looking through the images we have on our new site would end up working really nice for also being a kind of cover art archive, and if that's something people would want, I could make sure to get higher-quality images added whenever I come across them.

You're in the gaming press, don't you have access to publishers' FTPs where they usually have boxarts?

As for your second question, I don't think people would really care about boxart for already released games, plus anyone could go to IGN or Amazon or Google Images to find a boxart for such a game anyway.

Not all the time, and not always for older stuff.

That's why I asked - to see if anybody cares. And almost all of the stuff that you'll find from sites like that are either low quality, tiny, or watermarked.

The emphasis on the word "WHITE" really bugs me for some odd reason.

Not bad. Could use more Sasuke, however.

Cry More, Please. To answer your question first and foremost ( ), people voted and chose that cover. However, I believe all the other choices had Sasuke in it so you wouldn't have been pleased regardless.

Plus he's the creator's favorite character.

That Sonic one's objectively a really good boxart.

I'm sure it'll catch the eye of anyone not aware the werehog portion represents some idiosyncratic DMC-lite gameplay shoehorning.
