People say never judge a game by a cover (actually it's usually book but shut up). But chances are even if it's for the most fleeting of instances, most of us have. Sometimes is justified, sometimes it's not, but either way thank god for though oh so awesome game covers that we love, ignoring the discs and cartridges within.
So, what are some of your favourite game covers and what are some of your all time worst?

Easily my favourite. Too bad I still can't find the bloody thing.

Know little to nothing about this game apart from the fact it's the predecessor to the original Fallout. Cool fucking cover though.

This one's just sad. As seen ValvE can do some really nice covers. There's too much title on this cover, not enough game. They're all squashed together into a little box. And really apart from the portal image they really could have chosen better images for this. Gordans face isn't exactly going to draw people in, and they had to show Team Fortress 2's unique art style by plonking down the worst picture they could find of frankly their worst looking class.

I know next to nothing about this game but the cover alone makes me hesitant to want to know.
