now to think of it, the box art is not well designed or presented.
There are enemies robots behind and the guy is firing in front.
One of his companion should at least fired in front to show an example that there are enemies in front.

second the stupid light, looks like alien abduction coming from the logo.

I can understand it’s meant to be like DooM boxart, but they didn’t nail it.

Maybe they were going for a kind of “old school” look, like what game covers back in the day were like, or perhaps Blade Runner?

When I think of great covers for games I think of ones like Ico, Resident Evil 4 (PAL), and Katamari Damacy – art that practices subtlety, something BD clearly wasn’t going for. Although, I kind of like when covers shows how batshit crazy some people are out there.

Very nice article. My problem with both pieces of art is that they look like something that would be slapped on a Genesis cartridge rather than a modern video game’s boxart. Binary Domain is, last I checked, supposed to be a modern game, and one that takes itself seriously too, so I don’t think either image makes the game look modern or, frankly, makes the game look like it’s any good.
