I do have to agree that Dishonored's boxart was really good.

If Dishonored wins GOTY Sniper will probably start hating the game and saying it's too mainstream.

Let me guess, the 5% that do "have" taste are the ones that posted the generic "The Dark Knight rip-off" Halo 4 cover...

Actually there are a few good boxarts this year, Halo 4 included. I couldn't care less if its inspired by the dark knight posters, its very well executed. LOL at you bashing it because you worked out its inspiration.

Covers like this are terrible

Nope. These aren't just pieces of art, they're boxarts. They serve a purpose, and so judging them does not just come down to ones opinion.

There are some good ones around this year. Last Story, Lollipop, Dishonored has its moments, even Max Payne (one of them at least).

Problem is that a lot of people these days are using the same contrast styles (orange/blue) and the new popular thing: explosion particles. Slowly gets old after a while

Strangely I really dislike that box art.

It just seems so bland, boring, and devoid of color; it just rubs me the wrong way. It's an interesting style but it just doesn't work well for me.
