Let Bomberman ruin BioShock 2 for you photo

What has been seen cannot be unseen. I saw this image earlier in the morning, and now I can't look at the regular cover without Bomberman's mawkish face staring out at me. Since nobody at Destructoid likes to suffer alone, we hereby thrust it upon you so that everybody else can have the BioShock 2 cover art wrecked for then.

BioShock 2 is out next week! My review copy should arrive tomorrow morning and we aim to have the full verdict for you by launch day. In the meantime, continue to stare at the above image. It will literally chew for your eyes and damage your brain.

Speaking of reviews, looks like Dale's review of FF13 is a guaranteed 10:

"Beat Final Fantasy XIII. Fucking fantastic game. Ranks up there for me with FF6, 8 as one of my favorites."

Just remember, folks: You heard it here first.*

*"Here" being the comments section of this post, or the Twitter feed to your right.

I've been saying this for weeks. That's all I saw when I first saw that cover art. I can't believe nobody at 2K ever said anything.

FACT: I'd play bioshock if it played more like bomberman.

What? You only just see the resemblance now? It's always looked like Bomberman to me... So yeah, good work Stirling.

A coworker and I were talking about this at the local GameStop yesterday.

And yeah, definitely cannot be unseen.

You say ruins, I say makes more awesome.

Bomberman makes anything better.

Well, obvious exception otherwise.

It's like Diglett's mouth! Once seen, it cannot be unseen. I guess I'll be killing big ole grown up bombermen, rather than horrible decaying drug addicts in diving suits. Ah well.

ruin? i think that it is much better now.

Bioshock needs more kicking, throwing, and charabom dinosaur rides.

Bomberman improves everything.

The first time I saw the cover design I got a strange feeling of déjà vu but couldn't put my finger on it. Now I know, I am entertaining the idea that this was done on purpose. The first Bioshock had a reference to Pac-Man, maybe someone at 2K is a big Bomberman fan.

what are you people talking about? this just makes it more AWESOME!

...besides, isnt there a big daddy in this game that throws little turrets? cant you put down trap rivets? prox mines? this game IS the spiritual successor to bomberman.

Just to be clear, THIS is what the Bioshock 2 cover should have looked like:
