What’s in the box (art)?!

Last August, Supermassive Games unveiled their PS3 exclusive stab at the teen slasher subgenre with Until Dawn. It looked good, except for that whole PlayStation Move bit. I have nothing against the Move, but requiring the peripheral to play the game places a pretty substantial limit on your audience.

Today, the game’s box art was revealed, and where I was expecting it to say “PS Move required” it actually says “PS Move compatible” That’s not necessarily a solid confirmation on whether or not it will require the peripheral, but it gives those of us who never bought a Move some hope. I’ll update when Sony confirms either way. In the meantime, you can feast your eyes on the box art, in all its broken flashlight glory, after the jump.

Some might look at this cover art for the long in development Aliens: Colonial Marines to be nothing more than neat box art. Its eye-catching, there’s no denying that, but there’s more to it. You see, the marines are inside the xenomorph’s head, and that’s actually a metaphor for the complex relationship between the xenomorphs and the marines. I’m just kidding, the xenomorphs want to to tear the marines into pieces while they scream and fear-pee themselves, and there’s not much else to it.

If you’re a collector of movies, one of the Holy Grails is the Criterion Collection. Featuring films that supposedly have important cultural landmarks, these DVD’s are full of amazing features and usually have some of the best transfers you can find. But what about us video game collectors? What about us folk that think video games should be treated with the same reverence and respect as some films? Isn’t Super Mario Bros. a cultural landmark? What about Pac Man? Castlevania? Silent Hill?

Well, someone had the same thought process and decided to put together several video game covers as though they were in the Criterion Collection. While some of my favorites aren’t on there, these covers are stunningly accurate and would convince me to splurge an obscene amount for one. Seriously, those Criterion people charge WAY too much.

Much of what we’ve seen of Batman: Arkham City has been in black and white. Catwoman and Penguin were rocking the look in some promotional art, and the same goes for the newly unveiled Robin who looks pretty badass if I do say so myself. Fortunately, the actual game has plenty of color, though it’s still covered in a thick coat of grit and grime we’d expect covering a city for the insane.

Will Arkham City be as incredible, or preferably better, than it’s predecessor? I sure hope so. We won’t know for sure until the game ships on October 18th, so until then you can feast your eyes on its delicious box art, after the jump.
