Jeez, man, why don't you save some for later?
Looking like Mittens all of a sudden.

Love the Dororo one, by the way. Hiroaki Samura is a great artists.
We got gypped when it got a name change (Blood Will Tell) and a cg cover in the US. Just not as awesome.

Bankrupt.Dead.Defunct. Even in my sig they have a RIP spot for them.

Don't count on Last Window being published to the west. Cing went out like a light.

Damn I thought they was still working as a company despite being bankrupt. They really should have tried to get Last Window out to the west I don't know about the US but Hotel Dusk did well here. Who knows may have helped them a bit.

I think Little Kings Story was the catalyst,they put a lot of money and development into that game and critically hailed most the stuff they do. Sales wise it flopped. The money they lost in the fiscal year was not much for most companies really but for them it ruined them being so small and niche. :???:

Huh? Vyse and ThyDarkAngel both posted loads a couple of pages back too. Nah, if I were truly doing a Mittens, all of the games I'd be posting would be Batman games man, duh. :P

Totally. Dunno what it is about the Japanese maintaining to keep their covers drawn, whilst the rest of the world has to settle with the cg crap most of the time.

I always liked Doom's artwork. I had the poster on my bedroom door as a kid for years.

I'm sure its already been posted, but I loved the Dreamcast cover art.

Loved this cover art. Shame that Dreamfall's cover art was so mediocre.

Should have thought of this earlier. I absolutely loved Mark Schultz's Xenozoic Era comics work, and this cover was pulled directly from it.
The game looks like it sucks, but at least the art for it is great.
