Brightened Video Game Box Art

We live in a time where video game box art is often uninspired, often having a lone male protagonist looking all serious and holding a gun. Why, when there is such diversity in gaming is this the case? Well, someone on Twitter has taken exception to this and using clip art and other simplistic alternatives has recreated numerous video game covers to make them bright cheerful and just downright happier!

The last generation of gaming was guilty of producing some very generic video game art.

Using the royalty free art of illustrator Takashi Mifune from irasutoya.com Twitter users have created a community turning po-faced covers into a riot of colour and fun. Check out some examples and then head on over to Twitter to see much more!
