The Hilarity and Shame of Batman: Arkham City's Game of the Year Box Art

GP Editor Marcus Estrada editorializes on what went wrong with Batman: Arkham City's Game of the Year cover and why he believes it might be a terrible move on Warner Bros. Interactive's part.

They forgot to include Bat S*** in the box.

i dont think its that bad, in fact i like it. other than the "10 out of 10" which should be swapped with the name of the game or at least be smaller.

LOL, how do you forget the NAME??

I'm glad I have the normal version, which doesn't look like a graffiti artist from the marketing department attacked it.

That is the worst box art I have seen in a long time. I hate advertising on my artwork....GRRRR. Luckily I already have the original =)

I'll just swap covers with my cousin when he's not looking. lol

Anyone see the spoof ver...it's a good laugh.

I couldn't find the spoof one on 4chan that someone made but the IGN one is pretty good as well:

The game is called "10 out of 10" and GameInformer gave it a Batman: Arkham City.

Great video game deal > Shoddy case art...

honestly it looks like a magazine cover, but i agree with one of the quotes on the box art... "it's one of the greatest games ever, Period".
