Hey guys,
Let me start by saying how much I like this site and easy it made for me to catalog my collection, even though I have about 300 items left to put in. Anywaaaaaayys...
These days, I'm looking for games that are interesting mostly for their covers. I don't really care how good or bad the game actually is, I just want it to look interesting (yeah I know that's stupid). So has anyone got any suggestions for me ? I went went for Catherine, Deadly Premonitions (european cover) and Afro Samurai lately, but I'm out of ideas right now. I collect from 2nd to 8th generations BTW.
PS: Sorry for the bad english, it's not my native language.
Nah dude, that isn't stupid! A game doesn't have to be good in order to appreciate what it has to offer. There's a lot more to a game than just gameplay.
Definitely Catherine! Personally, I like the cover for Bayonetta 2. These may not be what you're looking for, but, if you need ideas...
1. WET
2. LA Noire
3. 999/Virtue's Last Reward (if you're into anime-ish stuff)
4. Hyperdimension Neptunia
5. Lollipop Chainsaw
6. Killer is Dead (special edition is like $15 or $20 and comes with cool stuff, I'm not a hack-and-slash guy but idk why it's got such a bad rep)
7. Akai Katana
8.Daedalian Opus
9. Dragon Age
10. Legacy of the Wizard
11. Popolocrois
12. The Saboteur
13. Stranglehold
14. Tactics Ogre
15. Wizards and Warriors
16. Zombies Ate My Neighbors
17. The Third Birthday
18. Persona/Persona 2 (JP)
Idk if these are what you have in mind (maybe you're looking for more 'artistic' covers?), and really, these are just some games from my collection. xD But there's a decent variety to give you some ideas, and most of the actual games are very cheap nowadays.
I would recommend checking out NES/Atari 2600 games, and keeping an eye on handhelds. There's a lot of cool artwork for the former, and I think the latter tends to have more 'different', perhaps playful, artwork. When your box is smaller, I reckon you have to use your real estate more efficiently. XD
If you find some great covers, share 'em with us!
