With hundreds or it is thousands of games published every year, there will be some box cover art that looks very similar.

I'll come up with something better eventually...

It's easier to be formulaic than to be creative. The former requires you to stick to a template, the latter requires you to make what will probably become a template.

Ooh another:

Hmmm... Not quite. It has to be more like this (meaning ''similar''):

But it's the same game so it doesn't matter that much.

Random game thought :
Why is Bionic Commando Rearmed 2 getting so much hate? We finally get a real game and they're not even satisfied... I'm starting to hate the gaming community so f****** much...

Watch my insane gameplay videos on my YouTube page!

Don't forget the light side/dark side cliche.

How slack is that?

Nintendo likes it too.

To the original poster: you said the xbox covers' "only on Xbox" was really original...then you post a really old GBA game which says "Only For" on the corner as your first pic. XD.
