Despite the slow release schedule of games in the new year, we still managed to find a few box art covers that couldn't escape our critical eyes. Read on to see what box art we found particularly egregious this week.

"Hotel for Dogs" (Xbox 360, PS3, PS2, PSP, PC, Wii, DS)
What the Box Tells Us: There are all kinds of dogs in this game based on the upcoming film based on the novel.
Pros: There's a nice variety of dogs shown.
Cons: Where's the hotel? It's just a bunch of canines sitting next to luggage. One is even inside the luggage. This must be some kind of one-star dog hotel where suitcases are used as beds.
Love It or Leave It: Leave it.

"Paws & Claws: Pet Resort" (Wii)
What the Box Tells Us: This place isn't just for the dogs; it's also a place where cats, bunnies and parrots can enjoy reclining by the pool.
Pros: Animals wearing sunglasses and Hawaiian shirts can be pretty funny...
Cons: But can parrots and bunnies even swim? Where's the life guard?
Love It or Leave It: Leave it.

"Paws & Claws: Pampered Pets" (DS)
What the Box Tells Us: As if sending your pet to a resort wasn't pampering them enough, there's this game, which seems to define "pampered" as giving your cat or dog a bubble bath and putting them in a bathrobe.
Pros: Adding accessories, like a headband or necklace, does a good job of saying "pampered." Because who seriously accessorizes their pet like that? Really?
Cons: The Photoshopped animals don't look more or less pampered than those featured in any other pet-based game in the market. They might even be a little sad. Hard to tell.
Love It or Leave It: Leave it.
