My favorite box art would have to be that one opening sequence of the 1UP Show with all the guys.

I'm partial to the new Madworld box art. While everyone else is trying to jam their cover art with every Photoshop filter known to man, Madworld's box is nice and simple. I also dig that all the static artwork has a woodcut vibe to it.

Always been fond of this one. It doesn't really stand out but it's just so, well it really fits the game.

I gotta agree on this one. Seldom see box art that well designed in these times.

Yea, it's classic. The lines and style are really nice. (unrelated; I really need to pick up that game soon)

Usually the boxes get so cluttered. I've been looking for box art recently that wasn't meh, but I'm not finding much.

I saw some other people posted hand drawn Mega Man box art, so I did this one. I know posting this seems very tongue-in-cheek, but I actually think it looks cool in a weird way, but mostly cheesy.

For some reason I really like this one:

maybe because it doesn't look anything like the actual game.

But more seriously, I think the Zelda series has the most consistently great box art design.

The Legend of Zelda (NES)

The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time (N64)

For more recent games, Mirror's Edge:

@weirdo513 you definitely should pick up Madworld. The game is fun as hell.

I'm posting this one, not because of it's design merits, but for nostalgia purposes. I played this game as a kid, and while the game wasn't that scary, I've always remembered this damn alien. May not look like much now, but when I was 6...yikes. I had nightmares about this Alien. For that reason, it's one of my favorite pieces of box art.

Agree.

Why most of mine I posted you see it's pure artwork.
With few exceptions I can't stand CG boxart,looks very tacky to me.

I'm a big fan of all the GTA box arts. As for what I don't like, its covers with the main character staring at you. Boring!
