The new badass way to look, as seen on 90% of hit video game covers.
Limited editions of games that include extra "perks" like Making of DVDs and a nice and shiny tin with extra box art
Some games want to stand out on the retail shelf, and being shiny is one way to do that. Sometimes the foil is simply shiny and other times they stand out even more by being holographic.
Lenticulars are images that change or move when viewed from different angles. Occasionally they are used on the cover of a game. The process is based on stereoscopic vision and is made possible through the use of arrays of carefully designed parallel lenses.
Whether it's for minimalism or a lack of artistic effort a lot of games use only the games logo as it's boxart. Examples would include all Final Fantasy's after VII in PAL and Japanese territories, Gran Turismo 3, Portal, Turok 2: Seeds of Evil, Metal Gear Solid and more!
When the artwork on the game's box in no way correlates to the game's actual look and feel.
Two or more characters are featured on the game's box art.
Showing half a face on box art is often used to give a sense of power or mystery.
