17 Best Video Game Covers Of All-Time

7. Marvel VS. Capcom 3 (2011)

Why It's Great: There's so much going on in the cover of Marvel vs. Capcom 3 that it can be difficult to know where to look first. Do you focus on the Hulk letting out a bellow of rage or Albert Wesker looking suave in the top corner? Is the battle between Iron Man and Ryu the most interesting or do you look at Wolverine about to plunge his adamantium claws into someone's face? Things may be a little congested but they're most definitely amazing. How It Represents The Game: The hectic cover perfectly represents the crazy, manic fighting of the Marvel vs. Capcom franchise. One of the selling points of Marvel vs. Capcom 3 was the huge roster of playable characters so it makes sense for the case artwork to be covered in the fighters. It would have been nice for Thor to get some love on the front cover, particularly with the original film about the Norse god opening just one month after the game's release.
