If the cover was just the stuff on the right I'd be pleased.
Heh.

The Fuse cover is horrible. Poor Insomniac.

Sure, blue and orange, but that CV box has some of the best art I've seen in a long time.
Shattered Spear? Does that modern soldier time travel back to Ancient Egypt?

Very nice.
I would buy 3 copies if that was the game.
The soldier goes back into time bringing gun powder and other modern weapon technology to change history for the warlord he is getting payed by, he falls in love and rises against his own army that he built to save his family and to stay at that time instead of going back.
EA you know my contact info.
Are Konami changing their logo again?

Stoked to put this game on the shelf next to Revelaitons...hopefully they spell it Lards of Shadow or something goofy like that. Or Mirror of Fat.
Same logo, just without the wedge outline

What' the deal with the color saturation here?

I've seen press kits send out box art in RGB space instead of CMYK, and that's probably what's going on here.

That Hitman cover is by far the best HD collection cover art I've seen.

See the Bioshock Infinite thread. :\
A sneak peek into Star Wars Episode 7.

The funny thing is it's ALWAYS Nintendo and barely anyone EVER fixes it.

Look at MGS4, Peace Walker, the HD Editions. Outside of limited editions (which in the case of MGS4 still had the CG art on the forefront and the Shinkawa cover hidden), we haven't had a Shinkawa artwork cover for all versions of a new Metal Gear game since Metal Gear Solid 3: Subsistence. I really wish it weren't so. Europe is getting that Shinkawa art of Raiden on a steelbook, but they tilted it diagonally for absolutely no reason so no thanks.
The lack of Platinum Games' logo on the cover kinda irks me too, given how they basically brought the game back from the dead.
I thought that the original placeholder cover with the early CG render lacked something compared to this. Before it was just Raiden with sword, here he's actually doing something that has to do with the actual game that people play.

My MGS4 has Shinkawa. Look's like I'll have to get that MGR steelbook so.
Oh yeah! I remember now, the European MGS4 had the Japanese Limited Edition boxart, against black rather than white though. "Western audiences love black covers!!!" is what I guess they thought.
