Sony has just revealed the official box art for Resistance 3, their upcoming PS3 exclusive. Considering all the intense shooter-action contained within the box it does fit the atmosphere presented in the game. I for one would have went for a more graphically popping visual effect to scare little children away from the box. Just my demented side getting the best of me.

I feel you man, to me it's hideous, tells you nothing about the game and isn't going to bring in any impulse buyers. This box-art couldn't be more of a fail imo. The type of game it is doesn't lend itself to box-art like this at all. Just ew. Why? I mean seriously, who told them this was a good idea? I wish I could have been at the meeting where whatever marketing guy pitched this so that I could grab the game case and beat him with all its ugliness until he recanted the idea and then proceeded to a put a nice screenshot-esque box art on there... oh well, at least the reviews will likely be good for the game.

This seems to be a disturbing trend with Sony exclusives, having bad North American box-art. I bet you the EU one will look great. Uncharted 2's box-art sucks and just has Drake in an awkward looking position until you play the game and realize where the scene is from. inFAMOUS 2's box-art is just a close-up of cole looking all douchey, but the EU one is of him looking uber bad-a. He's like holding the blue lighting in one hand and red in the other. Ah well, all that ends well is well, i suppose.

The Resistance 3 box-art may stand out from the crowd, but so would a naked fat person chasing a guy dressed as Batman down the street... sometimes, it's better to just "fit in."

Merc your frankness is to be applauded. When I grow up I want to be just like you.
