I forgot how good this box art was. I love how it captures the more whimsical nature of the game: essentially children pretending to be knights and wizards.

I like this, despite never having actually played the game.

 I have 3 because chosing between one as the best is almost imposble because you will always find something better. But I love the japanese version box art from booth demon's/dark souls I love em just as much but tales of graces f is also magical, actually ni nu kuni has also one of the better box arts.

My personal favorite box art in the past couple of years. Very clean and elegant.

It's a more recent example but I think it's one of the best of the generation

Max Payne 2, Shadow of the Colossus, and the old Phoenix Wright are some of the best. The Grand Theft auto style that has come to be the staple style of the covers was stunning in its first incarnation.

@bluefish: Every time I see the Halo 4 cover, I can't help but think of a anus. I absolutely despise that cover.

My personal favorite though:

I was sure I had already posted in this thread years ago, since I remembered all the page 1 posts, but apparently not.

This seems to have been intended for a War of the Worlds thing, and really has nothing to do with the actual game, but it's still a beautiful cover:

Westwood had a decent running theme for a while:

I don't even own a Dreamcast, but I didn't hesitate to drop $20 on this when I saw it in a local used game store.

There's a disturbing lack of Atari 2600 box art in this thread. If there's one console with the most consistently rad box art, it's the 2600, largely because of the artist Cliff Spohn:

Also I'll throw this in for good measure:

Yes it's non-canon, yes it's a bad game, but this box is awesome.

Apparently I don't know how to attach images on mobile, but the box art/cabinet art on Galaxian is probably my favorite.

@frostyryan: what?? that cover sucks

They're probably trolling, but maybe they legitimately like it. Nobody criticized your taste when you posted that Sonic 3D box art, so you should probably just give other people the benefit of the doubt.
