What current game has artwork that should be noted?

Virtua Fighter 4: Evolution is a notable upgrade from the original artwork wise. Also thought the Metal Gear Solid 2: Substance cover was very classy.

Your opinions?

You're full of topics, lately.

Obviously, the Ico box has nice artwork. Shame the game wasn't all that. And I don't care if it's classed as 'current' or not, either.

Well, by "current", I guess I mean of PlayStation2, GameCube, and Xbox.

The American Castlevania: Lament of Innocence artwork is stunning.

Observe:



Although it's very likely it'll be changed for a PAL release:

Lol, I liked resident evils blood cover, it was just blood. The US cover actually looked decent.

That PAL cover rules me.

Though, you're right, the US cover is quite beautiful.

These would be quite good too, if they were real: -

!
Ico is fantastic. Although maybe its not everyones thing. But yeah, the box is nice:)

iirc the gba castlevania games have pretty decent box art, aria of sorrow is sticking in my head for some reason.

And Gungrave on the PS2. Shinobi as well.

But its a shame how many crap ones there are, Harry Potter used to piss me off at work, his face just... grr... arrrrrr.... i really wanted to punch all the boxes.

The Silent Hill 2 fold out box art was awesome.

I liked Pimkin's. So cute! And Gitaroo Man's is nice.

Pikmin 2's is better although I cannot post it right now. If you haven't found it by 'later on', I'll do it then.

That mock-up Shenmue 3 PS2 one is bloody awful. The Xbox one isn't too bad, though.

I haven't seen Pikmin 2's. Post it!

I think you'll agree that they're both better than Microsoft's effort.

Well yes, but that was never going to prove difficult.

I think the Xbox one is excellent; hopefully Sega will be publishing Shenmue III, and not Microsoft.

The only thing that lets down the Xbox one is that rather cheap-looking Shenmue 3 logo that's just been plonked on there.

Cheap looking? But that *is* the Shenmue logo.

Yeah, but the way it's incorporated there is a bit naff. It doesn't look grand or important enough.

Heh, not even with the yellow splodge behind it?

Where are you, anyway?

It's been a bit hot for the computer lately. Internet time has been wildly reduced over the past week or so.

And no, yellow splodges aren't always good.

Well, apart from on underwear, I don't mind them.

You sicken me.

I know you love me really. And little Barney.

Is Barney your monkey?

Barney is our CHILD!

(Monkey is called 'Monkey')

He's no child of mine.

That's what his last father said.

I think you should start showing him some respect. For example, treat him to a book of PAL games artwork.

Do you see what I did there?

No, not really.

PAL artwork.

See what I did there?

Best game I've played for years, or ever, not sure.

Yeah that box is good, also Wipeout 1-3 and Resi 2 spring to mind. Everyone must remember what they looked like...

If there was a bit more 'game' to it, I'd have liked it a lot more.

I think the latest Mary-Kate and Ashley game on PlayStation2 has a fantastic cover.

It makes me want to kill them. And that's good.

"Mary-Kate and Ashly - our lips are sealed" is the best film ever.

I'm gonna take you to the cinema.

Lovely Stuff
