Technically, Halo Wars' cover contains two men and one woman (and all the Marines in the background). The Spartans are Douglas, Jerome, and Alice (Alice is the girl). FYI.

Fahahaha Prototype has literally prototypical box art.

But...couldn't Saint's Row 2 count also?

Prototyoe wins! Hells yes XD
Of course you know you can't deny the incredible sexiness that is Alex Mercer XD
But you're also forgetting Assassin's Creed, theat box cover fits the descriptions just like Prototype does XD

I second Zayleffein's post! It's good to see that sex doesn't always win...

I'm confused. First, games companies want to have more female gamers. Then they have few female rolemodels and settle on Sims ripoffs. They don't have female characters on the majority of the boxart. The ones there are are either sexed up to "appeal" to male gamers (it may only be 3% of the total, but it's 30% of the female only ones) or just simply ridiculous. If games wanted to have a true 50/50 audience, then surely all games should have male and female people on their covers and male and female characters to play. I'd say more, but my head hurts trying to understand the morons in the marketing sections of companies.

great article guys but there were a few things that were a bit off but they weren't important enough to change the outcome. I'm sorry to tell you though.... Vin Diesel isn't black. I do think the amount of games containing scantily clad women is disgraceful :(
@AnonymouZ
i ditto that as well

I thought Vin Diesel was white...? and that Saints Row 2 guy is ambiguous, he could be white, black, latino, anything, really.

Lol @ the darts cover art
jmtinfinitet  - 4 months 24 days ago 
and by the way, the prototype art actually does the opposite of selling this game to me, it pushes me away because it looks to much like the assassins creed guy/cover art, total rip off. agree with bioshockers comment as well

maddmann36  - 4 months 17 days ago
