Mann... Both are nice. Don't know who to vote for. I think ill wait a little, sum up the flaws and pluses of each box.

I agree with you there but I think I will have to go with Dark_Shadow's I really like the colours on it :P. While Themanslayers009's is nice but its screenshots.

So I go for Dark_Shadow.

[CruSadEr]

Well..umm..I love both, but I think I am going to have to hand it to Dark_Shadow, It is just very colorful and it doesn't stick to one color scheme.

I made up my mind... My voice goes to...Dark Shadow.

1st reason: When a compare this boxart to other boxes by him i see a lot of improvemets. Thats very good. This box is more complex than others.
2nd reason: The reflection in th glass pieces is made with extreme caution. Great details in this box.
3rd reason: Colors. Love them. This was sure surprising to see colors like green and blue on this boxart. Very eye-catching.

Yet, there are some flaws. Minor ones, but still. No Criterion logo.

And some words about Themanslayer's box: Its good. Its stylish. Its greatly done. But the composition is somehow too crowded. The upper part of the box is soo damn great, if you had made the whole box like this i would have voted or you. But something is wrong with the game logo - the reflection is kinda...misplaced?...Also, the same old flaws - ratings and dev logos. But these flaws mean nothing realy.

I actualy agree with Feed. Never thought I can see so interesting conception of the "Black" Box.
My vote is for Dark Shadow

I agree with everyone above. While both boxes are great, Shadow's Black box takes it to a whole new concept, while TMS's box isn't as original. I vote Dark_Shadow.

Cmon guys! Vote! We need another winner to compete in 2nd round!

btw, if you've noticed, there are actaually 2 arts combined in Dark_Shadow's boxart, not just a wallpaper+gradient. The first one is the man with the gun, and the second one is the soldier nicely blended into the broken glass. I just love when boxart has somoe tiny details. Awesome.

I like Dark_Shadow box because it really cool and i like the glass pieces effects on the box.

Actually hold on, does that mean you vote for Dark_Shadow?

Yes it does. I forgot to put the _ in his name. Sorry bout that .

[E_G]

Yes it does.
All I will ask now is for you to be more coherent by saying "I vote for..." instead of only saying which one you like. Of course thanks for all the votes.
