What game that you enjoy did you buy based on box art alone, without any info about it beforehand? Example; I got Styx; Shards of darkness. I knew nothing about the game when i saw the box (Didn't even know it was a sequel apparently!), But the style of the game's graphics (And the sight of the unreal engine logo on a game that was not exactlly made by a triple AAA studio) and mood of the whole matter made me decide to give it a go. You know, maybe something that's NOT a triple AAA game every once in a while, you know?

What's your story? Have you bought a game simply on looks alone? Are you glad you made that purchace in the end? Let me know.

Thunder Force IV, though technically I didn't buy that myself

But yeah, absolute gem of a game - been with me since childhood and I don't think I'll ever not be happy to play it.

Skies of Arcadia Legends

and it ended up being one of my favourite games of all time

Turning Point: Fall of Liberty back on the PS3.

It's an exciting scene, showing a gun battle amidst wreckage of the Statue of Liberty, with Messerschmitts flying over the New York skyline in the background. Back in the days before Wolfenstein got rebooted, I looked at it and thought "Yes please!"

I'll never be so foolish again. Cover art lies. Don't trust it.

I remember that this was how I got Crash Bash. At the time, I didn't own a PlayStation, but I saw the game in a catalog and the character design looked cool to me. I didn't even know it was a party game.

You can't really do this anymore, given that 99.8% of boxart is boring now.
