That includes the title’s official cover art,...
News This Is One PS4 Box That You Probably Won't Be Seeing on Western Store Shelves
More's the pity
With the PlayStation 4’s launch in Japan now fast approaching, publishers are beginning to reveal the cover art for their release day wares. One such box that slipped through our news net late last year is this one for Yakuza Ishin, which bucks the series’ Eastern trend by adopting a full colour image. Pretty neat, huh? Despite...
News PlayStation 4's Packaging Is Way More Colourful in Japan
Taste the rainbow
Japan always gets better box art than Europe and North America, and the PlayStation 4’s colourful packaging is no exception to the rule. While the international wrapper has an air of royal class to it, the Eastern edition is just plain fun. It includes an oversized image of Knack on the front, and a rainbow pattern equivalent to...

E3 2013 Check Out Killzone: Shadow Fall's Stylish Box Art
Good and evil
It may not be quite as eye-catching as that incredible inkblot mock-up, but we’re still rather fond of Killzone: Shadow Fall’s official box art. The package demonstrates the divide between the ISA and the Helghast, and even incorporates the shape of the leather fastener on the redesigned antagonists’ masks. Interestingly, it...
News Saints Row IV's Box Art Sets the Scene Surprisingly Well
A picture paints a thousand words
Could the box art for Saints Row IV possibly be any more perfect? It shows an image of the President of the United States – that’s you, by the way – sitting in a swish armchair in what appears to be the Oval Office, while a couple of gun-toting girls in pencil skirts point submachine guns at a giant energy...
News We Certainly Wouldn't Object to PS4 Boxes Looking Like This
Catching eyes

Sony’s yet to confirm exactly what form the PlayStation 4’s cases will adopt, but in traditional fashion, graphic designers around the globe have been making some exciting...
News Call of Duty: Ghosts Floats onto Various Retail Release Schedules
Leaked box art seems legit

News Beyond: Two Souls' Box Art Lets Out a Long Sigh
Makes a change from big guns
We’ve all had the occasional bad day, but they’re a regular occurrence for Beyond: Two Souls protagonist Jodie Holmes. Spiritually linked to an on-off psychopath, the character finds herself pursued by the government and living rough on the streets. No wonder she’s looking extremely gloomy on the title’s pack...
News Dark Souls 2's Cover Depicts the Misery You Can Expect to Face in the Full Game
Cold shoulder
Dark Souls 2’s box art is about as morbidly bleak as you’d expect from a game that thinks constantly coaxing you into unexpected death-traps is entertainment. The cover – which popped up on All Games Beta earlier today – depicts a sword-wielding warrior with his back turned. We’re going to assume that he wasn’t in the mood...
News Grand Theft Auto V's Box Art Looks Exactly Like You'd Expect It To
No surprises here
If you’ve been carefully following the construction of the Grand Theft Auto V mural currently being erected in New York City, then you’ll no doubt be delighted to get your first full look at the title’s box art to the right.

News Point Your Peepers at Watch_Dogs' Predictable Packshot
Sin city
For all of Watch_Dogs’ promise of innovation, we’d have thought that the designers at Ubisoft would have managed to come up with a more interesting cover for the release. Alas, here’s a picture of protagonist Aiden Pearce pointing his gun at the title’s ESRB rating. Perhaps the character’s not happy with the enormous logo covering...
News Rory McIlroy Swings onto Tiger Woods PGA Tour 14's Box Art
Hole in one
Not content with being brightest light on the circuit, landing a lucrative deal with Nike, and pulling women’s tennis pro Caroline Wozniacki, Rory McIlroy can now add appearing on the cover of a video game to his list of achievements. The Northern Irish hot shot will star on the front of the European edition of Tiger Woods PGA Tour 14,...

News Metal Gear Rising's North American Box Art Is a Cut Above
Chop, chop
Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance’s international box art is great – but clearly publisher Konami was concerned that North American consumers wouldn't take to the close-up of protagonist Raiden’s robot face. As such, the company has produced a brand new image showing the aforementioned cyborg slicing an adversary in half. We suppose...
News Naughty Dog Refused to Push Ellie to the Back of The Last of Us' Box Art
Fight for your right

News Lollipop Chainsaw's Boxart Is Appropriately Awesome
Good boxart should summarise a game's contents in a single image

News If Rayman Origins Is Even Half As Good As Its Boxart...
We recently got word that ex-PSN title Rayman Orgins had been upgraded to a full retail release
Now Amazon's revealed the game's place-holder boxart. And it's amazing. The online retailer is touting a release date of November 15th for the throwback platformer. We don't think there's any way such an unusual game will release slap-bang in the middle...
News Don't Tell Anyone But, Alice: Madness Returns Is An American McGee Game Y'know!
American McGee's importance has clearly been relegated in Alice: Madness Returns
Y'see, the legendary designer's name was a fundamental part of his previous Lewis Carroll stone-'em-up, American McGee's Alice. But unfortunately McGee's stock must be falling. Madness Returns settles for a lowly recognition of McGee's involvement, noting in small,...

Sony's released boxart for the just-announced Uncharted 3: Drake's Deception

News SEGA In "Amazing Yakuza 4 Boxart" Shocker, More News At Ten
Scrawl's managed to grab hold of the US boxart for Yakuza 4

News Fallout: New Vegas Gets Particularly Drab Boxart
This Fallout: New Vegas boxart is not drab in the sense that it is boring - it's relatively stylish and eye-catching in fact
It's just drab in so much as it sums up what you're likely find within the game. Dark, rough, empty environments laced with annoyingly animated creatures. We liked Fallout 3 but, c'mon, it had more than its fair share of...
News Drew Brees Headlines Madden 11 Cover, We Don't Really Care
Look, we're British
We're sorry. When someone says football we think of the sport where you, y'know, play with your feet. Not that other game people call football that's absolutely not football. Take the cover for Madden 11, which features Drew Brees (apparently). It shows the man holding a ball in his hand. Football. Mmmhm. We wanted to tell you...

News Japanese Heavy Rain Boxart Is All About Noses
The European boxart may be awesome, and the American boxart may be terrible, but what of the Japanese boxart for Quantic Dream's noir-thriller Heavy Rain? Well, it's got a nose on it
Rumour European God Of War III Boxart Revealed
Yes
Hooray. GamersMint are reporting (via French sources) that the European God Of War III boxart has been finalised and is, well, an updated version of the boxart we really, really wanted last year. We're waiting on word from SCEE but, chances are, there's no-one in the office right now! We posted a potential US box here
News More Terrible US Boxart Emerges, This Time Yakuza 3
What's with American boxart being so rubbish? First Heavy Rain, now Yakuza 3
The super stylish Japanese boxart has been replaced by a red background and an uber close-up of the protagonist's face. Rubbish. To be fair, the art has only shown up on GameFly so may just be a placeholder. We hope so. Here's the Japanese box.

News Hopefully God Of War III Boxart Isn't God Of War III Boxart

While kinda awesome, we preferred the "other" boxart that was tentatively shown off earlier in the year, but we did assume Sony would opt for a picture of Kratos looking angry.
News American Heavy Rain Boxart Is... Not So Great
You know the European boxart for Heavy Rain
It's bloody brilliant, isn't it? All that rain and, erm, origami. Cool. The recently announced US boxart, yeah, erm, that's not so great. It kinda looks like a straight-to-rental B-movie; which isn't so hot. Also, it's distressing how clearly this is aimed at a mainstream American audience. It's after the...
