What do you folks think?  Many games are contenders, but which is the true victor?  Feel free to piss and moan as needed, as forum goers are wont to do. 
 
My personal pick?  Burnout Paradise

@natetodamax: Borderlands was a close second for me.  The fact that brains are blowing out of his head is just too awesome.

Every time I see the Borderlands box art, I always think Persona. So I guess my vote is for Borderlands.

Was going to say Borderlands as well.  But the ME2 Collectors Edition is pretty badass as well.

The PEGI rating for Burnout Paradise is 3 years??? What 3 year old can play that game? I'd be surprised if they even knew how to hold the controller? 
 
As far as best cover art I'd have to go with the North American God of War 3 cover. Can't post it, cuz this site's image selection is broken, won't let me select the images. Weird.

as much as people hate on MAG and the box art.  I quite like it.  How else would you illustrate Massive Action Game?  I think it is far more creative than Modern Warefare 2 and games like it.  I also like when you open the box the instruction manual art blends seemlessly into the box art inside.  Looks pretty kewl.
 
I saw a video of someone that got MAG and they had Sver on the top part of their box.  I can't seem to find an image of it tho.  Raven is highlighted on this one (the one I bought).

@Bones8677: I played my first video game at 3, it was one of the Ren and Stimpy games on the Mega Drive. By the age of 4 i had beaten all the Green Hills zone in Sonic the Hedgehog. so there me is the answer. 
i do like the Just Cause Box art, but mainly because of the contex of the game and the riff on the Che picture.

Funny the first two posts were what came to mind for me.

 

I guess the GTA games have also always been pretty good, I like their style.  Also I thought the first Mass Effect had a good one, it was Star Wars esque.

 + anything el  se  not a figure with sprawling background,   though of course they want to show you the game in a snapshot.

Burnout Paradise is definitely my favorite.  I don't even own the game, but I have that picture as one of my laptop's wallpaper.

It's funny because it reflects what will happen to you in the game over and over again.

Found the other box arts.  Looks like, for once, US got the best box art....imo.  The Sver one is ugly.

LIke this one as well.  I actually like the US box art more on this one actually.  With the knight in soul form.

@Chyro: I agree with you. It's so simple and cool, and it's a massive improvement on the other Mass Effect box art. Borderlands just makes me think of Persona 3, so it's really a tie.
