Everyone one of those games in the list is good moral of the story have your protagonist walking towards/away from battle and it'll translate to a good game.
You forgot a game.

Blue and orange are so overused when it comes to this shit. I hate it! America gets the worst cover art :|.

Wish we could get actual art like in Japan, instead of generic 3D models.

Maybe it's just me, but to me that looks like Mega Man is debating why he had a breakfast burrito and looking for a bathroom. Either that or he's having a seizure/stroke(note the one eye being sort of crossed).

The Batman Arkham City GOTY comes to mind.

Who cares what a goddamn game cover looks like? Has anyone here actually had their opinion on purchasing a game influenced by the front of the case?

Bitches gonna bitch.

Oh cmon now. That cover is perfectly fine....if you squint really hard and ignore all of the extraneous writing clogging up the majority of the cover.

When I first saw a picture of it online I honestly thought it was a joke. But in hindsight the cover doesn't fit with this thread since there's really nothing like it.

Didn't they do the same with the Arkham Asylum GOTY cover though too?
