Square Enix releases official Final Fantasy XIII box art
Square Enix has today uploaded the official box art for Final Fantasy XIII to their e-store which we have pictured for you above. Of course, it’s pretty small and ridiculously un entertaining but it is the official box art and that means something, right?
It’s expected that the North American box art will look the same as the above one is for the Japanese market but we won’t know until FFXIII actually makes its way onto store shelves for the Xbox 360 and PS3 sometime in 2010.
GTA IV: Episodes From Liberty City box art
If you didn’t know, Rockstar is gearing up to launch a GTA IV DLC retail bundle called Episodes From Liberty City that is to include both The Lost & Damned and The Ballad of Gay Tony. The bundle is reportedly hitting store shelves this fall for $39.99 and will not require gamers to own the original GTA IV game.
Anyways, what you see above is the recently released official box art for the bundle for you to feast your eyes on.
DJ Hero box art revealed
It seems that the guys over at Destructoid got their hands on the official box art for Activision’s upcoming DJ Hero.
The above art will evidentally find its way onto the cover of the DJ Hero + turntable controller bundle. Other than that, there’s not much we don’t know; 94 originial mixes including Jay-Z, Daft Punk, 50 Cent, etc.
However, if you notice in the bottom right hand corner the Guitar Hero logo is prominentaly displayed, but why? Well, most likely because Activision wants buyers to know that the game is from the same makers of the much more popular Guitar Hero franchise.
Spyborgs dated for September 29th, box art revealed

Ubisoft releases official box art for Assassin’s Creed 2
Ubisoft has recently gone ahead and released the official box art for their upcoming title Assassin’s Creed 2.
As you can tell, the box art is very similiar to that of the original game, let’s just hope the gameplay is a bit different. While the game was generally well receieved by critics, the main gripe gamers had with the game was that the gameplay was somewhat repetitive decreasing the game’s replay value.
Regardless of your opinion on the original Assassin’s Creed, Ubisoft is gearing up to launch Assassin’s Creed 2 on November 19th for the Xbox 360, Playstation 3 and PC.
Activision shows off Guitar Hero 5 box art
The traditional unveiling of a game’s box art always happens when the community has stopped buzzing about a game. It does make sense, publishers want more hype etc. But anyways — Activision is proud to show off the box art for their upcoming Guitar Hero 5.
So yeah, check out the box art above and prepare for its September 1st release date on the Xbox 360, PS3, PS2 and Wii.
Any bets on how long Activision will continue the Guitar Hero franchise until the community grows tired? I have my money on at least Guitar Hero 15.
2K Sports reveals NHL 2K10 box art
The fight for the Stanley Cup is over and the Penguins have been crowned the champions so it would only make sense that a player the winning team would grace the cover of 2K Sports’ upcoming NHL 2K10, or at least a player from the competing Red Wings, right?
Apparently not as 2K Sports has recently come forth and revealed that the Washington Capitol’s left winger Alex Ovechkin will take the honors. Below is Ovechkin’s acceptance statement:
It’s an incredible honor, and I look forward to working with 2K Sports to make NHL 2K10 the most fun and amazing hockey video game experience ever. I can’t wait to put some of my moves in there.
Sure 2K Sports has done a good job in the past with their NHL series but will NHL 2K10 be enough to thwart NHL 10? Only it’s September release date for the Wii, PS3, PS2 and Xbox 360 will tell.
EA slaps Dwight Howard on NBA Live 10 cover
EA Sports is in full swing releasing all of the sports games they can, Fight Night Round 4, Madden 10, NHL 10 and now NBA Live 10. However, previous to now EA had kept both the cover and cover athelete under wraps.
As you can see above, Orlando Magic center Dwight Howard has gotten the honor of gracing the latest installment’s cover. Howard gave the following statement after the announcement:
“It’s an honor to be named as the cover athlete for NBA LIVE 10. This year has been a crazy ride and this is a cool way to cap it off. Of course – there is one more thing I’m on the hunt for that would complete it.”
I wonder what he’s on the hunt for? Maybe a final victory over the Lakers? Oh yeah.
