Before the Internet, we got our game reviews from friends, magazines, and blind faith judging the art cover (Imagination).., Kuros is that you?

Instantly caught my eye when I was a kid,and learning that it was made by some of the people behind Earthworm Jim sealed the deal on me picking it up. Still an underrated favorite of mine
 
PC Genjin 2 (1991)

I like it because of the appearance of newspaper cut outs and other pictures, drawings patched together. The first and third game of the series also emphasized this style and 超/Chō Super releases.

I absolutely love the old, super subdued PAL and JP PSX Final Fantasy covers and how they gave the series a unified appearance on your shelf.

Also, absolutely a cliché at this point, but Ico's (non-US) cover is definitely what jumps into my head when I think of good, evocative cover art.

Megaman's cover for unintentional comedy reasons.

But a cool one that I like is the cover of the first Siphon Filter.

Wii Okami (The original may be better but i had this one as a kid and thus prefer due to the memories attached to it)

The PS2 box art for Okami embodies the game's entire ukiyo-e art style and for that it deserves all the recognition in the world.

I like the wii and hd versions Box Arts better, but you are probably right as in the original embodying the game feel and art style better.
 
There's lots more I like but these covers are what to mind immediately
