2007's Worst Boxarts

GamesRadar writes: "Designing a box for a game is tough. With one image, you need to stand out on the shelf, catch the eye of the casual consumer and convince them that your game is worth their money".

Halo 3

looks like a 12 year old drew it (wouldn't be a surprise since that's 99% of their fanbase)

PL4Y BEY0nD!!!!

Maximus Prime, I agree with your sentiment but its "You're" not "Your"

MK_Red6772d ago

I agree with the article and believe Orange Box had a really terrible box art.
Nice find and lol at descriptions. + Touch Detective zooms.

unsunghero286772d ago

I kinda liked Orange Box's boxart. It looked kinda cheap, but it got the job done in a clean, simple-looking way.

Personally I think this is one of the worst video game articles I've ever read. Not one of these boxarts is that bad- or at least not in a very funny way. Kinda pointless.

THX71686772d ago

Wasn't that great but would you have preferred just an actual orange box (like the original concept art)?

Evilninja6772d ago

I would have bought it even if it'd had a big, hairy turd on the cover, but that's not what the author is saying. It doesn't matter if I like it or not - the sad fact is that there's nothing on that box that's eye-catching if you don't know anything about Half-Life. And that's a shame, because TOB is the best thing that's come out all year, and some people are going to overlook it completely because of the art.

The Orange Box Photoshop is awesome. As well as the humorous use of zooms on the first page.

Not looking good. Hopefully Asha Sharma is able to turn Phil’s disaster around.

To me it's still quite remarkable how they can cash-in 5.3bn in revenue in a single quarter, since their hardware is basically dead.

Jingsing59d ago

The stock mark is what makes Microsoft remarkable, They have convinced every institutional and retail investor to just keep piling money into them. Like many big tech giants they are just a big growing pyramid scheme. As long as people keep dropping money into ETF's that cover the market Microsoft will always be liquid. At the same time it is completely stifling innovation and competition. People need to start being more discreet in how they invest their money as it's killing the system.

Once they re-evaluate exclusive all will be fine….

S2Killinit59d ago

Riiiiight because people will just flock back to them for one or two games per year.

Jingsing59d ago

15+ years of bad performance is what they call irreparable in business. It is time for them to sell off the assets and get out of entertainment.

Tanktopmaster9259d ago

These declines are on the back of extra revenue received from releasing games like Forza horizon 5 on PlayStation. So I’m being sarcastic here when I said they should go back to exclusives. Killing off a revenue stream from Ps5 sales will only make things worse
