Official cover discussion

Im happy I'm getting the LE. It's a lot more understated and subtle. Im sure the regular edition cover will make it sell though. The little sister does look quite bad-ass. Not to mention the BD

Official Bioshock Box Art revealed!

The job is done! The official packshot of the Standard Edition (not LE) has been revealed at the CoR main site.

How do you like it? I am loving it! It contains our LS and BD and creates a dark feeling. I also like the background. And how the LS leans towards the BD, it feels like they are a couple

The Big Daddy looks slightly camp. Its pose reminds me of Mario.

Yeah. I'm also on the fence about it. It looks pretty sweet, but I personally would have gone with something a bit more mysterious and less straightforward . Gets the job done I guess.

I have to admit that I more dislike the fist of the Big Daddy...On the other hand it's fairly what we expressed in other threads (like this one)

The detail is great. I love that the pipe across his face is crooked. I love the valve over his shoulder, I love that there seems to be a burlap bag over his left leg... and are those weighted blocks or something?

The dark patch behind the little sister looks like the river of blood in "The Shining"...

Lovely.

I think it makes it look too twee,I'd have gone for something a bit darker myself-BD looks like a big friendly giant!

its good, i like Rapture_Tourist's point about the LS leaning on the BD, its very effective. It pretty much sums up the game in a short, sweet, and to the point fashion- which is one of the things that helps to sell the game to the casual gamer i guess, there again i wouldnt know whats good and bad in this case, i'm too blinded by obsession
