Personally, I don't think I would count games that have clear cases. Sure you can flip the art around, but it's not like it's a bonus alternate cover. It's more like taking the book from a CD and flipping it backwards.

I'm not sure exactly what you mean...

I meant that, if you could pull out the sleeve/cover of the game, and there was art (of any kind) on both sides of it (front & back) that it would qualify.

For example:

One of the PSP Persona games has the "standard" art-work on the one side, and (iirc) some butterflies or something on the other side...so I would include it in this topic...

Another interesting thing (I thought) to note - and that (somewhat ties-into the spirit of this topic) is:
that if you take the PSP versions of Star Ocean 1 & 2 , put them both next to each other, right-side up...the "1/2 Globes" on each game will line up w/ each other into 1 bigger & 'combined' one.

I'm pretty sure that I'm just about done adding my PS3 games, so I'll list the last 3 that I've come across:

(1).  Uncharted 2: Among Thieves

(2).  White Knight Chronicles: International Edition

(3).  Sid Meier's Civilization Revolution

I thought this was what was meant by this topic too. It sounds more like they just decorated the inside rather than make another full cover. For me in order for it to be an alternate cover it would have to have the title on the spine.

I would also prefer for there to be a title on both spines...but there's many examples where there is full-art (takes up the entire space on both sides) and has nothing on the spines.

Perhaps I could have worded the topic title better, but since the vast majority of games has *nothing* on the other side...I was still interested enough to find out which games had something...and looking for consistency/inconsistency between platform releases.

I haven't checked myself even though I have it, but Gravity Rush on Vita apparently has a reversible cover.

Not sure if it has been mentioned but Turok on the 360 had one also.

And now here I am quoting myself... Mine has nothing behind it, but I heard some people have a copy with something behind it. Can't confirm it though.

Just picked up Gungnir & pre-ordered Growlanser (PSP).

Gungnir has a nice, reversible cover!

Here's one I didn't know up until now: Super Mario 3D Land. But not on US copies, sadly.

It looks pretty cool too.
