Ugly Box Art

Thanks to the writers over at Games Radar we can take a look back to the year that was and take a gander at some particularly poor video game box art.

See their full article here.

I would now like to delve a little deeper than they did in regards to box art. Some of the pictures seen on this games is absolutely atrocious. Take this image in particular. First off, I have no idea what the game is about based on the box art, though it may be something related to all of those self-help movies on Lifetime.

But perhaps I'm looking at this the wrong way. I'm thinking too modern, too yesterday. I should really think childhood... Wait that's it! This cover reminds of Golden Books! Aww. That's so sweet how this current gaming company is paying homage to the great story-tellers of our childhood.

No, I take that back. This cover in no way inspires me to purchase the game, nor does it describe the game held within.

I loved my golden books, but that was a different age. Perhaps they could have added a lens flare or a star wipe to the box art. That would have revitalized it. No star wipe? Are you sure? Fine... no star wipe.
