The 25 Most Beautiful Video Game Box Art Covers

Box Art. I don't know about you guys, but my brother and I have been saving every piece of packaging for every game we've ever bought. Complex is saluting the artists who put together classic artwork for games, even though we don't spend nearly as much time with it as we should.

Isn't that Golbez on the FFIV DS cover? Cool article

RogueCheddar4495d ago

Is it? I assumed it was Cecil.

LettingGo4495d ago

I respectably disagree with ONE statement. The Saboteur IS an great game. :) In fact, it's the only game I liked from that team.

RogueCheddar4495d ago

It's still on my list of games to play in the future. Reception was certainly mixed though.

I am surprised to see no works from Yoji Shinkawa and I am really surprised there isn't any from Jun Suemi. The latter's art in the Rengoku 2: Stairway to Heaven was nothing short of breathtaking.

RogueCheddar4495d ago

I like Yoji Shinkawa's art but out of all the MGS covers I think MGS4 embodies the series and theme best.

The same thing happened with Dark Souls in that the UK and Japanese versions were a lot better, in my eyes anyway.

Not that the NA version is bad by any means.

@ Mr.Rogue (forgot to press Reply XD)
Which one are you referring to exactly: A, JP, or Collector's Edition? And by the way, thanks for showing me the JP Heavy Rain boxart. It's really tempting me to import it just for the picture. It also makes me shake my head slightly because the picture represents fear (at least to me) alot more than the Silent Hill: Downpour cover which I found disappointing....

EKWB reportedly plagued with financial disarray many gaming pc's left without parts

EK Cooling allegedly has slipped itself into a hot soup of seemingly endless financial woes, where it has not paid its staff, suppliers, and contractors for many months as the company is facing liquidity problems and a surplus of inventory left unsold, stuck in the warehouse for a more extended period. Gamers Nexus investigated these claims made by former and current personnel, where he found trails of unpaid bills lasting as long as three to four months and unpaid raises that accumulated for almost a year.

EK Water Blocks has two entities—a Slovenian-based headquarters and a US-based subsidiary, EK Cooling Solutions. Steve narrated the series of events in detail, stating that the company was reportedly irresponsible and negligent regarding payment. Consequently, partners and employees are forced to share the burden of alleged mismanagement. It all begins with its extensive range of products, leading to a surplus of goods. EK has over 230 water blocks, 40 liquid cooling kits, 85 reservoirs, 40 pumps, 73 radiators, and 212 miscellaneous accessories.

Yes this is not about video games directly but indirectly this will impact the pc gaming/workstation space hard.

This company is massive one of two in the water cool space so if it goes poof then thousands out there have no spare parts or half built computers.

SO yeah i know not about a video game but think of it as amd leaving the pc space but this is ekwb that could be leaving water cooling in the pc space

Jayz2cents a supporter of there products also has issues

El Shaddai: Ascension of the Metatron - Coming Back for a New Generation

Originally launched in 2011, El Shaddai: Ascension of the Metatron is coming to Nintendo Switch, so It's time to look back at the original.

Still have my ps3 copies. Bought it at launch and another one when I found it cheap and in perfect condition about 10 years ago. I wouldn’t buy it on Switch but if they made a PS5 version I would. I still have one of my PS3 Fats hooked up so good to go either way.

darthv726h ago

Id play it again on the switch. I wished my 360 version was bc but this is still a good way to play.

Fallout 3's Reveal Led To Death Threats And Bethesda's First Security Guard

The artist behind Fallout 4’s Deathclaw reveals just how bad things got back when Bethesda took over the series

anast7h ago

People are stupid I get it. No one should feel unsafe,

But I think they need to talk about why they cut so many corners during the development process and why none of their games ever look current. And why they think all of this is okay while they charge full price.

LucasRuinedChildhood7h ago

As much as Bethesda deserve criticism, that's not really relevant to the reveal of Fallout 3 in 2007.

VenomUK4h ago

The default angle Kotaku always go for is to highlight the worst in gaming.

I would’ve focused on the creative.

gold_drake3h ago

there is no "but". the hell lol
you dont send death threats, period.
