Horror game covers, wtf! (Short blog)
solidgoomba \| 2:16 AM on 10.27.2008	7 comments

I was searching amazon.com for a used copy of Dead Space and Left 4 Dead also came up in my search results. I immediately noticed the similarity in covers and Land of the Dead Came to mind. While I can understand there being a little bit of overlap between covers for games all in the same genre, this is inexcusable: all three feature little more than a hand. Dead Space shares a detached hand with Land and Left 4 Dead borrows the composition of nothing more than a zombie hand. Am I the only one that is bothered that both Dead Space and Left 4 Dead's covers both look so much like Land of the Dead's?

Well, it doesn't bother me that much considering that Dead Space and Left 4 Dead have their own meaning to each "hand".

The Dead Space one is just to show the violence, while the Left 4 Dead one is showing the 4 fingers on the hand, being related to the game.

Or at least thats what I think.

Was Land of the Dead even good?

Gantz

Actually its a bit more complex than simply 4.

They changed it to the left hand a little while after screens of the first cover surfaced.

So its like Left(hand) 4(fingers) Dead(zombie arm)

@Gantz,

That makes much more sense. Thanks for clearing that up :D

I had no idea there was a Land of the Dead game. Was it horrendous?
