I have to be quick about this. The Easter Bunny has me pinned down behind a crate of chocolate eggs. Who knew he'd be so well armed? Thankfully while he's lobbing grenades around me I have these fantastic game covers to look at. The friendly people of at the NeoGAF forums have started "The GAF Collection," a bunch of photoshopped box art in the vein of the Criterion Collection.
If these were real it would sell games faster than the Easter Bunny runs from my chainsaw attacks of death. I can't tell you how many times I've stared at the box of an insanely expensive Criterion Collection DVD, basically thinking it was worth it just for the box art. I'd pick up plenty of games again if they looked this good. Must buys would definitely include Killer 7, Zelda, Katamari, Shadow of the Colossus, Pikimin, Dr. Mario, Ico, Another World and Rez. Those are just from the first three pages! It's pretty awesome in general. Crap, you have to see this BioShock one as well.
OK, time to make my move. It's just you and me now, Easter Bunny.

How fucking good are these:
Toward the topic, I don't recall the Katamari Prince having an antenna resembling that of a television. Then again, I haven't played the game in ages. Pikmin is scary, just seeing all of those little eyes staring at me... The Bioshock is brilliant just because it is so simple yet it manages to tell exactly what happens in the beginning of the game.
Everything else was awesome as well but doesn't manage to stick out as much as the SotC one.
At least we're only subjected to a few absolute travesties like the cover for The Orange Box in a given year.
