I came across that site before.....never went back, Its just a bunch of kids putting Halo characters on old Nintendo boxes. Here's a good example....Assassin Hearts... Someone put Link of the Zelda series with a shield that has the mickey mouse logo on it....with a Keyblade.....on a 360 cover.... There are 3000+ covers listed for ps3, 360 and Wii I saw near 30 covers for various non existing Grand theft auto games for ps3. No Purpose the site might as well be JUST custom covers for fake games...or at least specify whats original and whats custom |

Are you a site admin or something? Anyway... That site is completely different from this one. This site aims to preserve original game art as well as offer a classy method with which to organize and store our beloved titles. VGBoxArt is a site for fantasy art covers that have no real use other than entertainment. I'm not saying VGBoxArt is bad or anything...just saying it's kind of unfair to compare the two when they are entirely different things. Aside from that, if you want my personal opinion of the site, I wish VGBoxArt's covers were uploaded to standard resolutions and sizes for each console in printable format. While the vast majority of the stuff up there isn't very good (no offense to the artists), there are several gems in there that I'd love to actually use on my actual games...but I can't. In terms of just looking at covers, I prefer browsing this site a lot more because not only do I know that if I find something cool I can always actually use it, but also because this site has a majority of quality work. A lot of the work on VGBoxArt is just cut-and-pasted art that breaks the style of the games whose titles are plastered on with incorrect font. On this site, each cover moves to preserve the original game, since the covers are destined to provide a housing for the game. On VGBoxArt, any child that can type "super smash bros mewthree" in Microsoft Paint can post a cover. (Believe me, I've seen a good share of MSPaint abominations on that site.) In the end, it doesn't really matter. You can't use any of the covers on VGBoxArt, so everything is purely for fun. When I criticize VGBoxArt, it's in the context of actually using the covers. In the context of doing nothing with them and posting them for fun...I really don't care. Most of VGBoxArt is of minimal quality. |

I can't stand that site. They have no quality control whatsoever, nor do they check if the cover is actually an original composition. Case in point: http://vgboxart.com/view/19209/star.wars.episode.i.racer/?replies=13 Look familiar? Well, it should... http://www.thecoverproject.net/view.php?game_id=5852 How about this one? http://vgboxart.com/view/19156/sonic.adventure.2/?replies=18 Now where have I seen that before? Oh, yeah! Here: http://www.thecoverproject.net/view.php?game_id=3817 and here: http://www.thecoverproject.net/view.php?cover_id=7260 Look familiar don't they. And if you read the comments you'll see that I've asked them to remove them and oddly enough, they are still there. There are others, but those two are ones that really erked me. Lumberjack42 |

I've never seen that site before but it does look like there is the occasional custom cover I wouldn't mind having if they were only put in the proper format, but yeah most of it is crap |
