One of my all time favourites (box art included!)

I'm sure the "LOVE STORY" part of the title sold many copies. /sarcasm

Indeed, the cover is the main thing to blame for why the sequel sold so poorly compared to the first.

a) make an artsy fartsy cover

b) make the game sell

Choose one. If it was me I'd choose a normal cover and hang this in some dinky gallery. ICO cover is another great example. While the US cover is poorly made, it doesn't make the European cover any less pretentious. And I don't need to tell you which one sold better.

Bleh, thats the exact reason why a lot of TPS/FPS titles have a generic covers on them. Random guy with a gun looking "badass" will always sell more than more arty designs. Look at the Bioshock Infinite cover for example :/

Now that you mention it, a reversible cover like the one B:I features is a great idea and can make everyone happy.

Dear god, please tell me you are trolling right now...

I'm completely serious. Why you're even using such a strong word as trolling is beyond me.

I'll tell you that Kingdom Hearts covers are some of my favorite too.
