I know my taste doesn't seem to fit general criteria, but really? I find Uncharted 2's japanese cover to be the best one out there. That Chuck Norris' Firewalker gives it a very unique appeal.

Of the Japanese version from the fourth Ratchet & Clank game (Deadlocked).

Bwahahahahah! Still makes me laugh. XD You know I was thinking about how Heavy Rain had a bad cover but couldn't remember why since both US and European ones were good. Now I remember lol.

Earthbound.

Seriously, what was Ninten thinking??? The Japanese box art boxes were worse! Way to make their games fail...

I'm surprised that PS3 Arkham City cover exists. Just horrid. This is the art on my box:

I guess WB adjusted it based on negative response, and my box includes the adjustments.

The covers of the original games were good.

Wow never saw that one. Nothing too terrible, but a shame they didn't use the beautiful European cover drawn by Eric Chahi himself:

The European ver. by Eric Chahi is far flawless superb box art in my opinion, many Amiga fans never forget this art such paradise looking! I can't believe they didn't use this boxart, instead they made another ver. with godawful box art.

Another great box art gave me 2 posters as a gift from a friend of mine(He's die hard Amiga). God, this is crazy!!! :D

A lot of the sci-fi and fantasy game box art of the era was on par with the best sci-fi and fantasy book covers. Often made by the same artists, so it makes sense.

This one still takes my breath away:
