I think that case art is lacking in today's market. Case art needs to be just as thought out as the game itself. Just think how much more attractive sports titles would be with art like this

For the most part these are actually pretty inspired and well done.
As far as DVDs go, Criterion has the best cover art on the market. They've really elevated it as an art form, if you ask me. In the past few decades movie posters and home video cover art had gotten pretty bland until Criterion came along.

Well, you might say the covers for the Criterion editions of the Wes Anderson films are different, but the fact very much remains that I could have drawn something like that when I was twelve.
But I agree, these are classy.

I approve. Bioshock and Dr. Mario FTW!
I love the cover for Killer 7, if I had a good printer I'd print that one out and use it as a replacement.

Truly excellent. Thanks for posting that GM!
The fact that these people have these photoshop skills and for the most part aren't employed as professional graphic designers should be enough to dissaude most people from going into that field.
These are awesome.
I can so easily imagine classes of bored high school students sometime in the distant future being assigned to play these games and analyze their contents.
