Your Favourite Examples of Game Box-Art!
I'm not sure about anyone else but sometimes I do like it when there is especially good box art for a game. Recently I was quite impressed with the box art for Zelda Hyrule Warriors

Does anyone care to contribute their favourite gaming box art over the years. Herese some I've always liked
Metal Gear Solid (PS)

I always liked it because that oil painting of Snake kind of looked like a camouflage pattern as well (which represented both the character and the stealth military mission of the game)
Resident Evil 4: Wii Edition

Really cool monochrome, minimalist design with the fearsome chainsaw wielding boxhead
Speedball 2 (Amiga)

Gets a sense of the speed and carnage of the game, i also like how his arm pops out at you
Ico (PS2

Just beautiful and really captures the minimal, melancholy spirit of the game
Doom (PC)

I'd have to go with Wasteland on the PC or Fallout 3.
I can't think of many off the top of my head. They're usually quite boring and generic.
I redrew some Western game covers in an Anime style. For my own amusement. One of my mates paid me 200 quid for my A3 version of Nemesis! I knocked him down from the original 400 he offered me. No I'm never putting them online as I think they are terrible!
