This week's new releases brings us boxes featuring deadly women and deadly... other things. Like snakes, spiders and zombies. In our new set of box art reviews, see which covers got it dead right and dead wrong. Read more...

There weren't a whole lot of new games this week, but remember -- it's not the size of the release that counts but the quality of its box art. We look at the covers of "Imagine Fashion Party," "Rygar: Battle of the Argus" and more. Read more...

In our new round of box art reviews, we've got baseball, weddings and samurai (and, of course, the obligatory set of ninjas!). See which game's covers meet our expectations this week, and which ones didn't make the cut. Read more...

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. Read more...

We can't mention the best box art from 2008 without calling out the bad and the ugly, which included giant babies, men in creepy masks, pantsless women and beyond. Here are some of the worst video game covers we've seen this past year. Read more...

In an effort to help box art designers, in 2008 we started judging video games by their covers. From feline baking to smiling athletes to weapon-wielding fish, this year's best covers had it all. Here's the best of the bunch, all taken from our weekly box art reviews throughout the year. Read more...

There aren't many boxes left to be released this year. Do the games in this year's final round of box art reviews stack up? Let's find out...

"Wordfish" (DS)
What the Box Tells Us: It's an "outrageously fun word game." Three fish float by amidst a few bubble-encased words with missing letters.
Pros: There are words on it. And fish. So it's true to the title.
Cons: How can a game be "outrageously fun" if its cover is outrageously boring?
Love It or Leave It: Leave it.  Read more...

Sure, all the major console games have come out, but holiday travelers still need something to play. Check out this week's box art reviews, where we judge games by their covers, featuring newly released portable titles...

"Dungeon Maker II: The Hidden War" (PSP)
What the Box Tells Us: A sword and a pick axe protrude out of a stone. A labyrinth, a castle and some mountains are shown in the background.
Pros: It looks like you'll be making labyrinth-laden dungeons with that sword and pick axe in hand. And calling it "The Hidden War" makes sense; if there's a war going on, I don't see it.
Cons: The box art designers have also hidden the excitement that this game may hold.
