Don't know, but I'll go for the most underground option: the worst box art of the year is Phantom Brave on the Wii. Go Google it, and the amount of color will make your eyes explode.

I couldn't help but say, "Everything is so cluttered, it looks like what happened after anime was gangbanged by a bunch of pastels!"

I think the amount of anime made my eyes explode before the colors, doesn't matter now though that my eyes are gone.

I think ODST had a great box, the ODST helmet reminds me of a sad face put that with the nighttime and rain it really conveyed the aloneness (not sure if thats a word) of the night missions in the game.

Yeah, not a bad call. I'd forgotten about that. The thing that personally came straight to mind was Borderlands. It just looks so bristling and lurid, both in its colour scheme and its imagery.

I thought the Modern Warfare 2 boxart was pretty bad actually.  If I walked into a store knowing nothing about games and saw a box with the name Modern Warfare 2 and picture of a guy holding a gun, I wouldn't even give it a second look.  The name alone sounds generic and I've seen the guy with a gun thing done a million times already.  I thought the Borderlands boxart was pretty good though.

I don't know, a whole bunch of FPS have the character holding a gun. =P
 
At first MW2's box art was "ugh" to me, but its alright with me now.
 
Now for the best cover... Hmm. I guess Halo ODST had a pretty cool cover.

The only thing missing is a unicorn shitting rainbows. 
 
Borderlands gets my vote.

I didn't like the Modern Warfare 2 boxart.  However, I did really like the Hardened edition cover.  My pick for best would be Dragon Age Origins.
