10 Insane Lies Told On Video Game Box Art

10. This Isn't What Booker Looks Like - BioShock Infinite

The front cover for BioShock Infinite may look pretty neat on its own merits, focusing on seemingly badass, chisel-jawed, gun-totting protagonist Booker DeWitt.

However, once you play the game and get to see what Booker really looks like, it's clear something far more cynical was at play behind-the-scenes.

In the game itself, Booker looks considerably more "normal" - a pretty typical-looking man rather than the comparatively heightened hunk of testosterone that he appears to be on the front cover.

Though the cover doesn't fundamentally misrepresent the actual gameplay, it nevertheless feels like 2K wanted to appeal to edgy teens by making Booker look as tough and stylised as possible, while blatantly misrepresenting his actual design.

While it wasn't uncommon in decades past for cover art to be commissioned and completed before a game even went into full production, that excuse doesn't hold much water today.
