No idea how long it took, but given it's published by EA, it probably cost millions.

Jees that designer should be shot. Not got round to playing the second chapter so not sure if Ill get this or not. Decisions, decisions...

 

[Ripper]

Having not played HL2 since i completed it on the PC at launch, it'll be a great game to get, especially with the add-ons.

 

[Zheka]

HAHAHAHAHA!

 

[Weebull]

I like how they put it:

HL2: Episode 2
Portal
Team Fortress 2
Half-Life 2
HL2: Episode 1

... as though putting it in chronological order would be a bad idea.

And god yeah, that really is a rubbish design. Just a nice simple HL logo on the orange box would have looked so much nicer. Mind you, that 360 banner would still kind of ruin it.

That must be just place holder art?

 

[silversurfer]

Ive seen tesco value spam better dressed then that

 

[ic1male]

That is so crapola. Dedicate the box to Dog!

 

[jimmyjimmyo]

Just awful tbh

I thought some of the old mastersystem/nes boxes were ugly but EA make those look like masterpieces

 

[escape sanity]

You can't compare that to the Master System boxes. At least they had some kind of image. Oh and the triangle thing in the top corner to tell you what genre the game was

 

[sarutobi]

wtf, it would have looked a lot better with a metallic orange box with a lambda^2 sign in the middle

 

[KNiVES]

Looks like a bargain bin kinda game thingy

 

[ikillbears]

i like it

Lay off them guys, Maybe they have problems.

Maybe they're blind....And have no hands.

All money saved on art work goes towards Gabe's new yacht.
