Russian version of Daemonica is so bad that it rocks



and speaking of Sword & Sorcery, even though it's an action:




German version of Al Emmo




Wild Wild West




Not that bad, but Lara looks weird




And a strategy game for NES

Have you seen the German cover? The English one is a masterpiece compared to it.

EDIT: Just noticed you not only have seen it, but it's also your favorite cover art.

What's wrong with the original cover? It's doesn't only convey the style and feeling of the game it's also very organised and looks imo really cool. Almost like a film cover.

To me, it looks cheap, bland and unimaginative. It does convey the worst of the style of the game, the cheap looking 3D models.

I kind of have to agree with Kuze here... the German cover isn't HORRIBLE but it just looks really plastic.

Just bought Amnesia and thought the cover looked hilarious.
Look at the monster. Derp derp.

Awesome game though.

Whilst The Lost Crown is one of my favourite ever games, I think its cover is very poor, it gives no idea of what the game's about or its style.

Whilst Bracken Tor hasn't been released yet, its cover (assuming it isn't changed) is unbelievably bad. The artwork makes it look cartoony, possibly even a children's game. Again like The Lost Crown giving no idea as to what the game will be like. Surely the purpose of a cover is to sell the game to people not familiar with the series or developer, i.e. people just browsing for something new. If this was me I wouldn't buy The Lost Crown or Bracken Tor based on their covers, and would miss great games!
