Your favourite cover art

[lukeyk]

It can be anything; movies, music, games and such.
What cover art grips you? Catches your eye and makes you interested?

It doesn't have to be the best cover art, it could be nice and simple. Just your favourite.

My favourite is

Spoiler

Just the eyes, they just grab you. They just show utter mystery, while drawing you in. And after this is the first real look I got a look of Gordon. And my word it just draws you in.

So what is your favourite? And why?

 

[The Wykydtron]

I like Deus Ex Human Resource's cover art (i know i'll stop that lame pun eventually) then again i really like the whole yellow/black thing they've got going on there.

I prefer cover art that's one or two simple things (like say, just Gordan Freeman's face XD) rather than trying to shove the entire cast on there, looking at you Persona 4...

I swear Persona 4's cover art would have been way better if it was just a picture of Naoto looking slightly pissed... Then again i fucking love Naoto so that's probably just me.

I have yet to see box art that is truly excellent. Things that tend to work for me are very simple and punchy. Portal and Dragon Age: Origins stick out to me at the moment. Even the first 3 Metal Gear Solid games had relatively nice covers. I find that most box art is trying too hard to be way too "badass" or is attempting to cram too much information into one image.

This cover art tells you everything you need to know about the game. It oozes melancholy and mystery.

Alright, time for something a bit obscure.

A fantastic RPG with a fantastic cover. It is just so grand and sweeping.

It just screams "Adventure!" Thank the atheist equivalent of god (Science?) that George Lucas can't mess with this film...

For serious though,

For music its

Spoiler: Wish You Were Here by Pink Floyd

Spoiler: Or... Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band by The Beatles

And for games its

Spoiler: Shadow of the Colossus, but specifically the cover its soundtrack, Roar Of The Earth

(The game has already been referenced multiple times, might as well keep it fresh)
