Upcoming Box Hunt Activity - vote for the theme!

Alright everyone,

I'm considering the next box art activity. The last one we had was about the top rental releases, which is a module that can be seen on the bottom of the news page. I planned to start the next activity late March or April 2 to avoid the April Fools rush. :)

I would like to know what kind of box art themes you would be interested in. Think broad! Think narrow!

I am already thinking about these.

- Spooky games [good for October]
- Classic games [might start off with Atari and/or NES]
- Monkey games [Justin Calvert's MUST]
- War games [there would need to be military infantry or tanks on the box cover]
- Romantic games
- Puzzle games [the puzzle pieces need to be on the box cover]
- Gangster games
- GameSpot review rating
- Fighting games
- Dragon games! [although, it might need to be a fantasy/wizardry list of games]
- Ninja games
- Movie games

Think I'm running out of ideas now. Go ahead and post your suggestions and mention if any of the current list I have sound good.

Fighting games and Obscurely terrible games (according to reviews) would be a challenge.

Also, I like the Military game idea.

Monkey gamesJodyR

Maybe Sci-Fi and Fantasy themes? We have got dozens of games made in those particular settings.

I'm all with Justin Calvert; Monkey games (games with monkeys?) all the way! :P

Games from a certain developer. One who has made a lot of games, some popular some more obscure. Like Atlus. Games banned or edited for content in Australia/Germany could be fun. All those old ones where they used to replace the people with robots and things like that.

I don't like Monkies. Unless it is Monkeys Island

The only monkeys that were cool were the ones from TimeSplitters :p

Military themes sound good.

Justin Calvert is a genius, I vote for the monkey theme.

or

for St.Patricks Day boxart with green on them?

Dont forget though, we might be able to compile some of these themes into one box art activity. So, maybe there is a way to combine some of them. We only have 9 months left for 2010. :)

Aslyum_Beast: Interesting, maybe we'll have one based on the GameSpot review ratings. That way I could have a hint on the game's review rating on this site. Nice idea!

gbrading: The nice thing, I could ask Justin what games to have in this box art session.

der_spudmeister: Nice idea, I love dragons so this would be a must. I might have to put it under a type of fantasy/wizardy theme, though.

All your ideas are nice Jody. The Ninja one sounds fun. My only suggestion would be to go by a certain console past or present. There would also be more consoles then there are month's left in the year so it would work good. Or go by certain years.

All of the above.:D

Dragon games or Ninja games

- Classic games [might start off with Atari and/or NES]

That's the only way I could possibly make it, since I'm an old man... :lol: Bring'em, please!

Might go with shinian on Sci-Fi, or Futuristic

Themes: Zombie/living dead games. Classic platformer games, War games, Movie based games, or possibly music based games. :)

How about a theme where you could post box art for games that were released in the month of any given years? For example, the current month is March, so you could put up box art for games that came out in March 2004, March 1992, and so on.

Movie games, all I could think of.hesel

What about superhero games? Ones based off comics? :P:D Umm...for easter, maybe games with bunnies in it. :P Like Rayman. Or Looney Toons. That might be kind of tough though. :P

Also, maybe games where the main character isn't a human. Just a thought.

Maybe Sci-Fi and Fantasy themes? We have got dozens of games made in those particular settings.

Here just what I thought

why dont categorize the games into 12 differentgenres and every month u have yourself one genre contest.

- Movie games

JodyR

I like the idea of movie games.

Hmmm i wonder if there are enough for Westerns...

• Spies/operatives games
• Soldier games

How about completely average (mediocre) games. :)

I enjoy Fantasy and RPG's. I would love to do box art on some of those. Well, give ideas, my actual art sucks.

I have a couple of Steam retail game codes to hand out for the next box hunt activity. Since this game code unlocks a Star Wars PC game on steam I plan to make the next box hunt about Star Wars games for current and old platforms! I'll share more details when we start this activity next week.

These ideas you all have are quite good and we'll use a variety of them in the coming months.

- "March Madness" (Games released in a certain month (ie March :P)

- "If one wasn't enough" (Sequels)

- "Use the Force" (Star Wars Games)

- "Put Your Warface On" (War games)

- "Outside the Box" (Sandbox games)

Edit:
I just read a few posts above this and noticed that you have decided the next one is a Star Wars game -- ignore that suggestion then!
