Cover Art Image

I would love to upload the cover art for this game but, I don't have access to uploading yet. When I get access to it I will upload it post haste but if we could get one up before then that would be swell. (NuHalo (talk) 00:28, 7 December 2010 (UTC))[reply]

Uploaded the cover art. It's all taken care of folks. :) (NuHalo (talk) 01:07, 11 December 2010 (UTC))[reply]

Currently the European cover art is being used for the picture, which is fine. However, I can only question it's usage when VGIMAGES states both "Where different cover designs are available for different regions, the one from the region in which the game has been developed should be used." and at the same time stating "Cover art should appear in the infobox (see below for more info on the infobox), and ideally, the most recognizable English-language cover should be used to illustrate the subject.". From that, I think it is definately arguable which cover art to use, between the European and North American. Yes, it was developed in Europe, however it is clear that the North American box art is much more recognizable and available both online and offline. If Shadow Master is googled, the image search essentially offers many more examples of the NA box art than the EU. Not to mention, most major review sites, such as IGN and Gamespot and Neoseeker (that all offer international reviews) prefer to use the NA box art. With all this being said, I believe it would be preferrable to switch out the box art for the NA version. I would like to get some more viewpoints on this, because this game isn't exactly the most popular, and in the strictest sense is a cult hit at best. For the people who do like it, and recognize it, im sure using the most recognized cover would be preferable. (NuHalo (talk) 19:46, 13 December 2010 (UTC))[reply]
