Help Me Out: Misleading Video Game Covers/Box Art
NCHammer326 | 9:47 PM on 03.14.2009 5 comments


I want to write for Cracked. The site helped mold my sense of humor in a way that I cannot describe. I've pitched several articles for Cracked, but they were rejected. I recently had the idea for "X Most Disturbing Video Game Covers", and thought it would make a swell article. While this would make a good Cracked article, most covers I found were more "unsettling," "weird," or "retarded" than actually disturbing. Cracked writer/member Fitzgerald said that the "Bust-A-Move" cover (see below) should be my basis for what is "disturbing." I felt this was good advice.

Long story short, there just aren't that many disturbing covers. I'm reluctant to leave this pitch behind, so I'm changing "disturbing" to "misleading." I have hope. I have ideas. I have Destructoid. Suggest some misleading covers, so that I can get this pitch off the ground. It is your destiny! Join me, and together, we can rule the galaxy as father and son! Come with me. It is the only way.



Also, here's what was considered "disturbing." These can still be used with my new idea for an article. If you're not familiar with the "Bust-A-Move" series, look it up, and then try and figure out what the fuck the people making the game's box art were thinking.

1up has done this same thing several times if I recall correctly. Like exactly the same thing.

All I can find from them is just "worst" video game covers. Before you comment on something like that, do a google search.
