Nothing has really hit me this year but demons souls is nice.
By far my favourite this gen has been this:
Would have been perfect if it had no logo's or anything on it other than Bioshock, I just think its awesome, hope Bioshock 2 is similar

You'll have to be more specific, that refers to most video game and movie covers.Threi said:

Especially the teeth where the north-eastern part of South Africa is and the missing of Somalia, to make it look more like a skull.

I like this one. It's simple, but striking. The art looks even better when there aren't brightly-colored icons slapped all over it.

Funny how the normal boxart is absolutely horrible, really takes everything that makes Mass Effect look uninteresting to me and times it by 10.
On the other hand the collectors one looks great. Is this some kind of marketing scheme? Make the normal cover crap so people will be more likely to buy the SE?
Good boxarts:
Our Spirit Tracks one is great of course
MadWorld is awesome
Japanese Okami Box Art (without the Wii border)
Also really like the Metroid Prime Trilogy Box art, even though we didn't get the tin.

Awesome concept and execution, best of the year in my opinion.
What are your picks for best box art of the year?

The lack of Forza 3 votes is disturbing...

It will always be new.
I think this box art covers the nature of the game more than any other this year. There you have it. 4 people playing together having a fun time. There are enemies & powerups and pipes. And it's NEW!
I can agree.....it just oozes fun and says "This is a game"

The most artistic. The 'deepest' game of '09.
The most tantalizing.
There's just no fucking contest here, people.

Perfect mix of nostalgia and new, with some great color usage.

I gotta agree that the normal edition of Demon's Soul's juts looks good.
Don't own a wii and know fuck all about the game but i agree that the sin & punishment cover is pretty damn nice.
nobody has posted the euro steelbox of kz2, that was by far the best of the kz2 covers. the picture was *completely* drained of colour bar the eyes... i definitely wouldn't say it was the best cover art of the year (love the game though) but i just thought it was worth mentioning given that a couple of people have mentioned the standard US KZ2 cover.
...and i had no idea there was a sky crawlers game. damn, i frickin love that movie (and im not a huge anime geek or anything. is it any good?

Honourable mentions:
EA really loves that splatter and grunge look since they it in all their games.
