IGN: The Worst Video Game Box Art of 2011

A lot of games were released in 2011. Unfortunately, not all of them came with awesome box art. Frankly, some games came packaged in absolutely abysmal video game box covers. Here are IGN's picks for the 12 worst examples of box art for the year.

My Australian Farm, that has to be one of the best box arts ever lol

dead island special edition box art sucks hard.....I felt like I was jipped when I got the special edition, compared to the original box art.

Forget the cover art. Imagine the poor souls who had to spend years making some of these games.
"Jerry Rice and Titus dog football."
"Wappy Dog"
Although, I will admit....that farming sim game is kinda speaking to me. Customizable overalls ftw!

Everything about the Blackwater game is terrible,what kind of person would even think about making a game that idolizes civilian murderers?

DeeZee4527d ago

I actually got a good laugh out of that.

Duty Calls - Epic Games' Forgotten Call of Duty Parody

Back in 2011, Epic Games and People Can Fly launched a Call of Duty parody - Duty Calls - that has been lost to the annals of history.

"Duty Calls: The Calm Before the Storm" sounds more like a massive case of the sh**s. 😂

I saw the parody mention, and half expected the ability to drop a deuce on your opponent... I left disappointed.

Bulletstorm - A Cult Classic Worthy of Revival?

Bulletstorm will soon receive a VR remake, but is it worth revisiting? Take a look back at the original 2011 release.

IMissJimRyan319d ago

Absolutely. I remember when the game came out on ps360, I thought: "wow, another shooter" and in the 7th gen that wasn't an unfair reaction.

But when the game was re-release on ps4 I took my time an played it (it was on playstation plus at the time) because, ironically, I missed a shooter in that console. And boy, what a fun game! They made a game to be played and not to be watched. It was a fresh air in the genre that deserved better.

So yes. Maybe it find its audience this time.

It's an awesome game. The only exception (for my taste) is the script writing, which is OTT, but I guess that's what they were going for. It does at least match the OTT action and gore. I thought it was great overall and actually being in this game is going to be bonkers!

IMissJimRyan318d ago

Yeah, I agree that storywise it's not an Oscar nominee, but it's like a porn movie in game format.

Abnor_Mal318d ago (Edited 318d ago )

Agree with the over the top script, and felt at the time that was the only thing that people were hyped about, the language and not game play.

But in vr this game is going to be great. It has everything that would make a great vr game. Lots of bombastic action, gunplay, blood, and that leash.

Looking at the gameplay now it seems that the game was ahead of it’s time and was perfect for vr before vr wasn’t even off the ground.

Venoxn4g318d ago

I loved the game back in the day and will love in VR even more!

Yui_Suzumiya318d ago (Edited 318d ago )

I got it on PS3 at launch and am still waiting for the long rumored sequel to finally be announced. Currently have it on Switch and wish a physical version of that would be released. Absolutely love it.

FinalFantasyFanatic318d ago

I actually feel like this game gets revived all the time, not that I hate the game, I actually quite like it, it's just constantly available, unfortunately I'm not a fan of VR so I'll be skipping this version.

Bloodborne is a game I still restart and play every few months. I would welcome just a re release in 60fps with a visual upgrade. It's a perfect game. If I was king for a day I would include the randomizer mods because then it would be a kind of rogue like and I could play it forever.

gleepot353d ago

Sure, ill take a sequel to all of these.
