    Bad typography on the back with the text. Lots of space in between text in blocks like that is a big no no, especially on cover arts. Try fixing that.

    So left-justified rather than all lines?

    What justification does the text have right now?

    Try either left or right justification.

    Also, instead of having uneven blocking of the games on the front, try fading them out, much more than this picture but this is an example.

    I like how this is going. I think you should switch back to justify-all though but work on the size of the text and font to try and minimise the gaps in-between words.

    I prefer your new front to the old, perhaps fade the outside of the left and right images so that it matches the 'HD Collection' banner.

    I don't like how the images interact with the logo but that seems really tough to change and may look better with that fade - Saying that, it already grows on me as I look at it more.

    I really like where it's going it looks very clean, yet very grungy at the same time.

    I agree with Jordan94jb, but I'd like to add one little thing. I don't like the font of the 'HD Collection'-banner. The font of the MGS logo is very strechted and then the shape of the banner font is really round. Experiment with other fonts. Other than that, nice looking box.

    (Sorry for my English)

    I really like this, apart from the Metacritic scores, they seem pointless and in my opinion are used only to fill up space.

    Those are actually one of the first things I added to the back. I just thought it was a cool idea. I guess not though?

    Why not align the text differently for each game? So, left, centre, right as you go across. Could work.

    Maybe it looks nice if you make arrows of the pictures on the front?

    The copyright legal text at the bottom on the back mentions "Resistance 3". Maybe it should be fixed first
