The lights are on
A long overdue status update on something most people care little to nothing about. Joy.
It's been a while since the last stupendous iteration of Behold the Beauty blinded us with its brilliance, so I thought it was about time to blind us all over again. For those not well-versed in Roman numerals, this is the fourth part of what is seemingly a never-ending deluge of artistic junk (parts one, two, and three here, here, and here). That is, video game covers "designed" by supposed "professionals" who prove that beauty is truly in the eye of the beholder. So take a gander at the following ten covers I've lovingly singled out and see how long you can go without wanting to throw up in your mouth.
And you thought this blog was dead. Trust me, this crap never dies. Ever.
Ganon would be so proud.
Like I needed another reason to love the Zelda franchise.
What do you get when you mix an abortion of wrestling creativity with a stubborn wall? Pure gold, that's what...
Here in good 'ol Minnesota we're apparently the worst at..wait for it...tornadoes. Huh? Yep, it's a dubious list indeed. See for yourself.
Could it be your love of a particular video game is the result of more than just the title's endearing qualities? I'm starting to think so.
Now my days here at GI are endlessly consumed by nothing but fear (and dreams of Zelda). And then more fear.
Wanna help me decide which stellar title in my robust gaming collection I should play next? Of course you do.
And here we go again: To that wonderful place where putrid design and insane marketing strategy come together to form what can only be described as a visual abortion. This third iteration of Behold The Beauty (the first two can be found here and here) features some interesting creative choices – a rabbit, male bonding, and genetic abnormalities, to name a few – and the results are simply stupendous. Or just plain stupid.
So follow along as we uncover ten more diabolically deranged covers in our never-ending quest to find the elusive answer to that one singular question – why? More
Ten more crappy video game covers. Same crappy results.
