Qwarky, the Silent Hill2 package came with a collector's card too right, or maybe a sticker? |

On the topic of Silent Hill, here is the Japanese cover of the original Silent Hill, which is much more subtle and abstract than the US version. http://i28.photobucket.com/albums/c2...over-Japan.jpg Here's the US version: http://i28.photobucket.com/albums/c2...H-Cover-US.jpg And the PAL version: http://i28.photobucket.com/albums/c2...-Cover-PAL.jpg |

Oh wait, I just checked and you remembered right, there really is a big sticker there. I'd forgotten all about it. "Welcome back!" it says, with a picture of the zombie nurse :tpg: I'll see if I can get a picture of it later if anyone wants. Quote:

Although I absolutely love Ikaruga as a game, I don't really like the cover of the PAL version. The layout of the Japanese version is nearly the same, but much more stylish than the PAL one, which is definitely too colourful. On the other hand there is the US version, which looks completely different from the PAL and Japanese version, but also has an additional charm.
That's a picture of the US version: http://i10.photobucket.com/albums/a1.../ikarugaus.jpg That's the Japanese version: http://i10.photobucket.com/albums/a1...ikarugajap.jpg And compared to that one, that's the PAL version: http://i10.photobucket.com/albums/a1...ikarugapal.jpg |
Im surprised ATARI didnt go with the PAL and JP version for us, If american cover art has taught me anything, its that its rare for us to get actual artwork on the cover.

Here's the artwork the picture is from. http://www.mrmonkeyman.com/images/ikaruga2.jpg Notice the Ikaruga actually matches the same style of the rest of the picture, and it sort of looks like a bird as well. None of that building block nonsense. |
I love Kosuke Fujishima's artwork.

Lets not drop Silent Hill untill we have looked at Silent Hill 3
US Cover: http://img92.imageshack.us/img92/6261/psx20200lr.jpg UGH! But you did get the soundtrack, we in Europe got Silent Hill 3 before anywhere else and still got a nice cover PAL Cover: http://img92.imageshack.us/img92/579...zzzzzzz9ad.jpg I couldn't find a picture of the Japenese cover but it was nice too |

This's the US cover for Dark Cloud 2. It's bright, vibrant, and features the two main characters. Score in my book. http://img506.imageshack.us/img506/2...zzzzzzz2go.jpg However, this is the Japanese version, and I like it a bit better. It's not quite so cluttered as the other one. And this last one is, I guess, another PAL version of the game. http://img380.imageshack.us/img380/3...000833d7pg.jpg |
Here's the Japanese "Silent Hill 3" cover you couldn't find, randomweb.

PAL's Silent Hill 3 cover is the best out of the three.

I don't like the Grandia 2 boxart. Pretty boring. Otherwise the DC boxarts look good.
|
Yeah, Grandia II boxart = fail. Love that Space Channel 5 cover.
|
Really? I like that Grandia 2 boxart more than the American Grandia 2 box for the DC.

They're both bad.
|
The art for the PS2 version of Grandia 2 is pretty good:

Neat! I've never seen that before. =( I knew whatever version of the Action Replay around at the time offered the function, but it was almost as expensive as some sort of island resort made of gold and Panzer Dragoon Saga discs!

Speaking of Panzer Dragoon Saga, lololol at the awful PAL and US cover again
http://images.amazon.com/images/P/B0...CLZZZZZZZ_.jpg http://www.videogameconnection.com/i...saga%20box.jpg The US version came in a case that much bigger than the PAL! Honest! compared to the Japanese cover http://www.futura-online.com/e-tiend...n_rpg_azel.jpg |
