					<description><![CDATA[What were they thinking?]]></description>
										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span style="float: left; color: #b00000; font-family: Georgia; font-size: 60px; line-height: 35px; padding-right: 6px;">T</span>he year has almost come to an end and even though there were a lot of great video game releases in 2012, we have to say that they were accompanied by pretty awful box arts. In this feature we take a look at 10 worst video game box arts of 2012.</p>
<p>I am not sure what the designers were thinking when they implemented these designs. Some of them make next to no sense. And it&#8217;s surprising to see that there are several AAA franchises in this list as well.</p>
<p>Do you want to add any more entries in to this list? Let us know in the comments section below.</p>
<p><strong>Resident Evil 6:</strong></p>
<p><a href="https://gamingbolt.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/12/Resident-Evil-6.jpg"><img fetchpriority="high" decoding="async" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-129861" alt="Resident Evil 6" src="https://gamingbolt.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/12/Resident-Evil-6.jpg" width="620" height="872" srcset="https://gamingbolt.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/12/Resident-Evil-6.jpg 620w, https://gamingbolt.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/12/Resident-Evil-6-213x300.jpg 213w" sizes="(max-width: 620px) 100vw, 620px" /></a></p>
<p>I am not sure which is more worse. The game or the box art. In fact they both support each other pretty well. Also, I am not sure what message this box art gives to the franchise&#8217;s fans but in no way it looks like a &#8216;6&#8217;. Can you make sense out of this box art?</p>
<p><strong>Batman Arkham City: Game of the Year Edition:</strong></p>
<p><a href="https://gamingbolt.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/12/Batman-Arkham-City-Game-of-the-Year-Edition.jpg"><img decoding="async" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-129858" alt="Batman Arkham City Game of the Year Edition" src="https://gamingbolt.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/12/Batman-Arkham-City-Game-of-the-Year-Edition.jpg" width="620" height="754" srcset="https://gamingbolt.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/12/Batman-Arkham-City-Game-of-the-Year-Edition.jpg 620w, https://gamingbolt.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/12/Batman-Arkham-City-Game-of-the-Year-Edition-246x300.jpg 246w" sizes="(max-width: 620px) 100vw, 620px" /></a></p>
<p>Arkham City was an amazing achievement by Rocksteady Studios. But they went <em>super </em>amazing with the Game of the Year Edition box art. Just by looking at it, it should have probably be renamed as Batman Arkham City: <em>Quote</em> of the Year Edition. I know that was a bad joke. But really, this box art sucks!</p>
<p><strong>Football Manager 2013:</strong></p>
<p><a href="https://gamingbolt.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/12/Football-Manager-2013.jpg"><img decoding="async" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-129859" alt="Football Manager 2013" src="https://gamingbolt.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/12/Football-Manager-2013.jpg" width="620" height="620" srcset="https://gamingbolt.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/12/Football-Manager-2013.jpg 620w, https://gamingbolt.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/12/Football-Manager-2013-150x150.jpg 150w, https://gamingbolt.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/12/Football-Manager-2013-300x300.jpg 300w" sizes="(max-width: 620px) 100vw, 620px" /></a></p>
<p>I am not sure what kind of a game Sega&#8217;s Football Manager 2013 was but take a look at the box art of the game above. The manager&#8217;s half face is stripped off. Looks more like a toothpaste advertisement than a video game box art.</p>
<p><strong>Alan Wake&#8217;s American Nightmare:</strong></p>
<p><a href="https://gamingbolt.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/12/Alan-Wakes-American-Nightmare.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-129857" alt="Alan Wake's American Nightmare" src="https://gamingbolt.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/12/Alan-Wakes-American-Nightmare.jpg" width="620" height="850" srcset="https://gamingbolt.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/12/Alan-Wakes-American-Nightmare.jpg 620w, https://gamingbolt.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/12/Alan-Wakes-American-Nightmare-218x300.jpg 218w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 620px) 100vw, 620px" /></a></p>
<p>Utterly bland and boring. This is what Alan Wake&#8217;s American Nightmare&#8217;s box art is all about. And why the hell Alan has his torch on? Can&#8217;t he see the <em>forces of evil </em>in the day? Oh wait! The <em>forces of evil </em>should not really come out in dark so what the hell is trying to get hold of Alan&#8217;s feet? Too contradicting and lame!</p>
<p><strong>The Hip Hop Dance Experience:</strong></p>
<p><a href="https://gamingbolt.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/12/The-Hip-Hop-Dance-Experience.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-129864" alt="The Hip Hop Dance Experience" src="https://gamingbolt.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/12/The-Hip-Hop-Dance-Experience.jpg" width="620" height="876" srcset="https://gamingbolt.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/12/The-Hip-Hop-Dance-Experience.jpg 620w, https://gamingbolt.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/12/The-Hip-Hop-Dance-Experience-212x300.jpg 212w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 620px) 100vw, 620px" /></a></p>
<p>You dance in a <em>hip-hop</em> manner but the box art does not need to go <em>hip-hop</em>. I simply cannot understand what is going on here.</p>
<p><strong>Tiger Woods PGA Tour 14:</strong></p>
<p><a href="https://gamingbolt.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/12/Tiger-Woods-PGA-Tour-14.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-129865" alt="Tiger Woods PGA Tour 14" src="https://gamingbolt.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/12/Tiger-Woods-PGA-Tour-14.jpg" width="620" height="762" srcset="https://gamingbolt.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/12/Tiger-Woods-PGA-Tour-14.jpg 620w, https://gamingbolt.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/12/Tiger-Woods-PGA-Tour-14-244x300.jpg 244w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 620px) 100vw, 620px" /></a></p>
<p>Why does Tiger look so sad in the box art? Or may be he knows that box art is well&#8230;meh.</p>
<p><strong>Inversion:</strong></p>
<p><a href="https://gamingbolt.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/12/Inversion.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-129860" alt="Inversion" src="https://gamingbolt.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/12/Inversion.jpg" width="620" height="874" srcset="https://gamingbolt.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/12/Inversion.jpg 620w, https://gamingbolt.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/12/Inversion-212x300.jpg 212w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 620px) 100vw, 620px" /></a></p>
<p>Really, just by looking at the box art my brain got inverted. Good job to the one who designed this box art. It surely gets the message out.</p>
<p><strong>Traffic 360:</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://gamingbolt.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/12/Traffic-360.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="size-full wp-image-129866 aligncenter" alt="Traffic 360" src="https://gamingbolt.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/12/Traffic-360.jpg" width="339" height="480" srcset="https://gamingbolt.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/12/Traffic-360.jpg 339w, https://gamingbolt.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/12/Traffic-360-211x300.jpg 211w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 339px) 100vw, 339px" /></a></p>
<p>This box art has parts that are not even readable. The entire aspect ratio looks disturbed. And to top that, they even stripped the globe from the sides.</p>
<p><strong>Sledgehammer:</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://gamingbolt.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/12/Sledgehammer.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="size-full wp-image-129863 aligncenter" alt="Sledgehammer" src="https://gamingbolt.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/12/Sledgehammer.jpg" width="479" height="620" srcset="https://gamingbolt.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/12/Sledgehammer.jpg 479w, https://gamingbolt.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/12/Sledgehammer-231x300.jpg 231w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 479px) 100vw, 479px" /></a></p>
<p>Can anyone please tell me what is going on here? Ye, I can see a truck ramming in to a car, but where are the little details like the truck&#8217;s mirrors etc? An incomplete version of what could have been a good box art.</p>
<p><strong>Resident Evil: Operation Racoon City:</strong></p>
<p><a href="https://gamingbolt.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/12/Resident-Evil-Operation-Racoon-City.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-129862" alt="Resident Evil Operation Racoon City" src="https://gamingbolt.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/12/Resident-Evil-Operation-Racoon-City.jpg" width="620" height="709" srcset="https://gamingbolt.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/12/Resident-Evil-Operation-Racoon-City.jpg 620w, https://gamingbolt.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/12/Resident-Evil-Operation-Racoon-City-262x300.jpg 262w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 620px) 100vw, 620px" /></a></p>
<p>The list began with a Resident Evil game so it only made sense it ended with one. And don&#8217;t worry. This one tops Resident Evil 6&#8217;s box art. Who on earth will take a zombie as a hostage? It makes zero sense. And how is it possible that a guy standing in the background has his gun overlapping with the the women&#8217;s gun who is in the foreground? No sense of perspective at all.</p>
