It's the American Revolution

Clearly tired of all the leaks, Ubisoft has come right out and revealed the boxart for Assassin’s Creed III. As anticipated, it shows the American Revolution. Expect more details about the sequel to emerge at the Games Developers Conference next week.

Fiery tennis legend, John McEnroe, will head up the cover of the global version of Grand Slam Tennis 2, publisher EA Sports has announced

The argumentative legend will be joined by current top-dog Novak Djokovic and female favourite Maria Sharapova. There's no room for Andy Murray on the UK cover. The cover will differ across Europe, with France getting Jo-Wilfred Tsonga, Novak Djokovic and Rafael..

With the PlayStation Vita due out in less than 24 hours in Japan, we're starting to get a slow and steady trickle of news and information

The littlest details are always the most fascinating. Take for example the PlayStation Vita's boxes — just how big are they? ShopTo News has got your back, with a selection of images comparing the PS Vita version of Ultimate Marvel vs Capcom 3 to a variety of..

Good boxart should summarise a game's contents in a single image

Lollipop Chainsaw's front-cover does exactly that. The artwork shows protagonist Juliet Starling clutching at a chainsaw with her beheaded companion key-fob dangling from her waist. In the background are high-school lockers with zombies inside. Pretty much tells you everything you need to know. The Grasshopper Manufacture developed..

Fans of flashy combat, prepare to be excited: Capcom has formally announced the Devil May Cry HD Collection for release on PlayStation 3 next year

The compilation package will bundle all three PS2 Devil May Cry titles remastered in high-definition. Yes, that includes Devil May Cry 2. You can probably skip replaying that one if you want to. You'll miss out on earning new trophies if you do though,..

Drink it up readers

This is the packaging your shiny new PlayStation Vita will be contained within when you pick up the hardware next year. Sony's European PlayStation Vita product manager, Adam Grant, unveiled the boxart on the PlayStation Blog this morning. In addition, Grant's outlined each of the PlayStation Vita's on-board apps. The post doesn't contain anything we don't already know, but it's..

In addition to two new character teasers, Capcom's released the boxart for its upcoming cross-over brawler Street Fighter X Tekken

The packshot focuses on Ryu and Chun-Li from the Street Fighter side, and Kazuya and Nina Williams from the Tekken side. It's embedded above, y'know, in case you didn't notice it while scrolling.</em>

.. Albeit in shoddy low resolution, but you totally get the idea right? Tekken Hybrid is a PlayStation 3 exclusive game plus movie bundle, that features Tekken Tag Tournament HD, CG movie Tekken: Blood Vengeance and a demo for the upcoming Tekken Tag Tournament 2. It does that blue/red gradient thing that virtually every other boxart does these days. What's with that?</em>

England stars Wayne Rooney and Jack Wilshere will appear on the front-cover of FIFA 12, EA has announced

The Arsenal midfielder will join Manchester United's forward for the UK, Ireland, Scandinavian and Middle East versions. It's Rooney's seventh appearance on the game's cover.

We recently got word that ex-PSN title Rayman Orgins had been upgraded to a full retail release

Now Amazon's revealed the game's place-holder boxart. And it's amazing. The online retailer is touting a release date of November 15th for the throwback platformer. We don't think there's any way such an unusual game will release slap-bang in the middle of the holidays, but hey, stranger things have..

American McGee's importance has clearly been relegated in Alice: Madness Returns

Y'see, the legendary designer's name was a fundamental part of his previous Lewis Carroll stone-'em-up, American McGee's Alice. But unfortunately McGee's stock must be falling. Madness Returns settles for a lowly recognition of McGee's involvement, noting in small, rounded text: "An American McGee Game"..

Three times world champion Ronnie O' Sullivan is to be the face of Dark Energy Sports' upcoming PS3 title, World Snooker Championship Real 2011

The developer promises the game is "the most realistic snooker experience yet seen on home console and PC". All the usual features are being touted: real players, real venues, real tournaments. Dark Energy Sports really like that word..

Sony's released boxart for the just-announced Uncharted 3: Drake's Deception

In fact, the game is already available for pre-order at some retailers. Seems a bit crazy pre-ordering a game this early, but we'll understand if you get swept up into the hype. It is Uncharted after all.</em>

Scrawl's managed to grab hold of the US boxart for Yakuza 4

It's actually proper amazing. Which is surprisingly, considering the utter atrocity that was Yakuza 3's cover. Thanks for learning your lesson SEGA. We forgive all. If you missed the new trailer this morning, you can grab it through here.

Here's your first glimpse at the European packaging for a bunch of PlayStation Move launch titles

The pack shots come courtesy of French site Gamekyo, who somehow managed to get hold of the job-lot. We're not too hot on the "You'll Need These" logo on the front of the boxes, but we guess it gets the job done. Perhaps the most notable point of discussion comes on the Sly Cooper Collection..

This Fallout: New Vegas boxart is not drab in the sense that it is boring - it's relatively stylish and eye-catching in fact

It's just drab in so much as it sums up what you're likely find within the game. Dark, rough, empty environments laced with annoyingly animated creatures. We liked Fallout 3 but, c'mon, it had more than its fair share of issues didn't it? One being that it was just boring in..

Look, we're British

We're sorry. When someone says football we think of the sport where you, y'know, play with your feet. Not that other game people call football that's absolutely not football. Take the cover for Madden 11, which features Drew Brees (apparently). It shows the man holding a ball in his hand. Football. Mmmhm. We wanted to tell you more about the cover of Madden 11, but Joystiq seems..

So, what you're trying to tell me is that Modnation Racers is a game about driving cars in ridiculously colourful environments and sticking stickers? Word

</em> <em>Sony's also confirmed that the game's hitting the US on May 18th, with a European release planned for the same week.</em>

Indeed, we think Naughty Bear might just be the best concept for a video game ever

Just.
