    I can't believe Capcom did that with the Okami cover! Funny stuff.

    "6 – And he has three fingers on each hand!" yes hahah yes he has indeed a wrong amount of fingers. could number 7 be that he has no nose or number 8 be his monstrous eyes? everything must be perfect.everything must be.

    Ok, I've been coming to Gamesradar for a while now (only just recently decided to sign up) and I've laughed and been in awe of countless other lists and features on the site. But this is the list I always come back to.

    One of the funniest GamesRadar articles I've read so far. I especially love the Wordmaster box art; why anyone would have, much less want, that game next to Chrono Trigger in their DS library, I don't know.

    Holy hell, some of those covers are both horrible and pathetic. Nice try game developers but uhhh, keep trying.

    Air Traffic Chaos 1 – Chaos is the largest, most visible thing on the package. Again, airport chaos on or around 9/11 probably isn’t the smartest choice 2 – That airliner is doing a loop. Assume those people are dead 3 – The controller is announcing what he is, on the box, in case the huge title and plain image of an airport wasn’t enough 4 – Despite saying he’s an air traffic controller, his facial expression and nervous sweat drops indicate he’s faking it, which explains problem number 2 AND... 5 - ...the fact that this plane is SIDEWAYS 6 – And he has three fingers on each hand! --------------------------------------------- Edit: 7 - The game was released on 9 - 11

    There's nothing wrong with Dead Space and Left 4 Dead's box arts.
