Not to be overshadowed by
BioWare’s latest effort to depict
Mass Effect 2 in one epic cover, 2K Games has released the box art for
BioShock 2 — and it doesn’t win any points for originality
or cleanliness. Just like the first game’s cover, it features Big Daddy (this time he’s
you!) and Little Sister (not you). Only now, everything’s behind cracked, grimy glass and the logo’s covered in barnacles.
Eww.
You can lay your eyes on high-res versions of the Xbox 360, PS3 and PC covers for the sequel in the gallery below. You might want to put on some rubber gloves and grab a can of Scrubbing Bubbles before you click on ‘em, though.
[Thanks, Geoff]

BioWare has apparently changed its mind about the
Mass Effect 2 box art, as the developer announced today that it has revealed the “final” image for the game’s standard edition release — the Collector’s Edition box art was
shown off a couple weeks back.
The new box differs from the original version in that the characters and guns are more prominent, the Wrex-lookin’ Krogan is replaced by Thane the Assassin, Miranda Lawson is trying harder, but still failing at a solid Dead Space Girl impression, and Default Shepard from the original Mass Effect cover is again the sorry stranger of the bunch. Who is this cookie-cutter mancake BioWare insists cramp its covers? We’ve never seen him in our game!

Okay, well there’s only one of them, so saying, “these are the box arts” was more of an excuse to make a Trek reference.
However, we do find ourselves wondering if there should be more than one cover here, since half the game is dedicated to Klingon play. Sure, you’ve got some Birds of Prey in the background, but the iconic Federation logo, Constitution-like ship and Captain are most obviously the center of attention.
Then again, so long as the game is fulfilling our deepest Star Trek desires, we suppose it’s all a moot point. Plus, we’re sure many of you are just going to buy this on Steam or some similar magical online store. That’s been our prerogative at Massively as of late, especially since it cuts down on unwanted PC games box clutter that turns into a mountain of excess over several years. You can check out a much larger version of the image right here in our gallery.

Capcom has finally uploaded the massive box art for its latest Vs title onto the internet: Tatsunoko vs Capcom: Ultimate All-Stars. It’s very similar to the Japanese box art for the original release, in that it’s a bunch of the game’s characters set against a white background. The difference between the two is that our localized version shows the characters staring each other down, likely thinking about how they’re going to kick the crap out of each other. What a violent world these folks live in, eh?
Head past the break for the full box art.
