It’s a sad but nearly universal truth that video game cover art tends to be, well, not great. Still, with more and more designers padding out their portfolios by revising classic (and classically mediocre) pop culture artifacts, it’s no wonder that video games are the latest iteration of the cycle

After film-based illustrations and Modernist album covers, we suggest this listicle on selectbutton of (approximately) 70 Artsy Revisions of Video Game Covers. Our favorite, because we were totally addicted to the game longer than any other has managed to hold our attention since, is the beautiful alternate cover design for Sim City by vision, at right.
