As a connoseur of vidya game box art both above and beneath the casing, i have the pleasure of presenting my favorites from muh personal collection:
As for Painkiller: H&D, the big black case complements the colors. Its just a magnificent boxart especially with the physical copy at hand.
Now there is more to these boxes than what meets the eye:
Diablo 3: Reaper of Souls.
And finally of course last and the BEST:
DOOM 2016. Obviously the original boxart of the game was mocked for being overly generic compared to its classic conterpart yet it still grew on me. The Cyberdemon on the manual isnt too bad.
However with the power of reversible Box covers, i managed to do this without ripping and tearing the box:
The REAL DOOM box art. Channeling the spirit of the classic art piece from 20 years ago that immediately told its viewers about what you are about to do - shoot demons on Mars!. A huge improvement over the original "just the Doomguy" one.
Great box art, at and below the surface, is the reason why i still buy physical copies of PC games and even PS3 and PS4, as well as 3DS ones because they are such a joy to have around the house. They remind me of the good days where great boxart mattered so much.
