| ^ Topic, what game sports your favorite cover! I thought mine was the Tales of Symphonia: Dawn of the New World cover since I bought the strategy guide after beating it just to look at the art all large and shiny, but I think I found my favorite! Wow wow wow <3 I bought mine used recently and took a gross picture of it that is sitting on my profile, but I've bought rubbing alcohol to get the left over sticker particles off and cleaned the whole thing and I must say~ It is quite good! Almost as good as Tales of Vesperia Premium Edition's cover. I didn't want to go too far backwards in picking games this season, but the cover really won me over and I had to buy it ; ; My true favorite is~ Wow@@; I wanted a Nintendo DS because of The World Ends With You, but I told my sister I'll have to play Luminous Arc 2 first because the cover looks too nice @@; Unfortunately - that is the box's cover. The actual Nintendo DS box cover (that stores the game) cover's up the bottom left character's face with the Rating ; ; (Teen). The outer box cover is the pearl, but the DS game cover is still quite good ; ; Does anyone else care about nice looking covers for good games? Or obviously - does everyone not care how a game presents itself as long as it is addicting by itself? What are your favorite covers? (From front and back of covers, you can pretty much tell if you'll like a game, but if you insist that you can play a game with a horrible cover [front and back] - you are basically alluding you can play a horrible looking game itself. Which is fine, but most people like to play nice looking games@@; Everyone understands the concept of don't judge a book by its cover, but I have stated playing ugly games is fine). [Every game I've bought based on the cover - I've loved. The only game in the past month I've bought based on its hype - I've hated (Persona 3; awful front cover to me)) |
| I actually bought Tales of Symphonia because of the cover. But I think it's a tie between the Okami and the Baten Kaitos covers for me. |
| Patapon Every Extend Extra I prefer my cover art to be more visually appealing and I really hate the cover art when they need to put a character in the cover just because they want people to pick it up randomly in stores. |

| Ico's PAL cover: Definitely shows some influence from De Chirico, which is pretty damn cool. The NTSC cover (released in North America), however, is quite ugly. Maybe part of the reason it didn't sell very well. |

| I'm a shameless manga cover whore, but I don't think it works for games. After all, games have more to offer than just static drawings. Some good games, even those with good artwork in general, have terrible covers. I really like Hanakisou, because of its soft coloring and appropriate representation of the game. On the other hand, Tokimeki Memorial Girl's Side 1 and 2 DS have awful covers that don't reflect the game at all, yet are fun to play. A lot of Bioware CRPGs have very simple covers that I don't care for, but I love the games. I liked the Japanese Persona 3 cover, but dislike the one for Persona 4. |

Game Covers really matter, but.. Between buying an used game for 10 bucks without a game cover and spending 40 bucks for an used game with a cover, the choice is easy. No matter how much I like having a nice looking game cover, paying 3-4 times the price for one is definitely not worth it. As for my favorite game covers:            This is only a fraction of what I like. |

Kingdom Hearts 2 Final Mix + And I agree with blockhead, .Hack//G.U had really nice cover. Too bad Haseo didn't always look that bad ass in game. |

| Fuck that anime cover art shit. |
| The "covers" are you talking about are the imagens inthe boxes of the games? if is this 8D Kingdom Hearts Kingdom Hearts Final Mix Star Wars The Force Unleashed (this cover is evil *-*) |
| Yes - covers~ cover art + game detail - I count both sides, but only showed front on my example. Konahi_chan's pick is creepy@@; |
never played the snes version but the cover art is frickin' epic. |

And here's the shitty, shitty NTSC version for comparison: how can one be so good while the other be so fking ugly. I guess they assume that most americans have no taste for art and just like swords. |
| I'm a big fan of Yoji Shinkawa's art style and I hope I can draw just like him one day and it's a shame that he still hasn't drawn a manga yet. My favourite is the alternative mgs2 and mgs3 covers. I don't like covers that uses CGI and computerized images because they get old fast. |
Other game covers I like:          There are just too many game covers I like and very less that I don't. |

| Persona 4 |
Great Cover... |
Unknown whispers flow through my mind as I enter the pathway into Hell. |
Rokyzz said: Persona 4 Why is there so many Persona 4 covers@@; And why is only the last one good ; ;? I'd only buy P4 if I could find that last cover! I'd never play it too >.> |
| Heres some of my favorite boxarts |
 |
| Wow... That Persona 3 cover is amazing <3 I'll trade my FES game for it ; ; |
| I like the Baten Kaitos box art. |
 |
| Rogue Galaxy Japense cover: Persona 3: FES Japanese cover: ICO PAL cover: Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time cover: |
I hate World of Warcraft      |

| I like this one. Nice and simple |

| This has always been a favorite of mine. Love the game too. |
| What comes to mind right now: Ibara |

| Apart from Ico, I'm having a hard time thinking of any covers that could pass off as genuine works of art, and I can think of plenty more bad than good. They are for the most part, merely serviceable. I thought this was kind neat. I'm reminded of my dad's collection of 60s sci-fi novels. Now those had some outstanding art. Okay, game covers! This was a favorite of mine growing up: |

Meh, this thread has way too many average covers that have snuck there way in because it just has a few anime-esque drawings on it... time to save this thread then.      What the hell is going on at the bottom?  |
| MY FIGHT MONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEY! |
| As far as I'm concerned, Guilty Gear covers never ceased to be epic, at least in my eyes. And as a little finisher, I came around this a few days ago. It's fan-made, but, I liked it anyways. |
