DarthKaal: Oh, how can I forgot this? The first two Monkey Island games, excellent art by Steve Purcell.

Definitely

Max Payne 2. This cover is a little verbose, but I love this image. It's striking, it's iconic, it's stylish, and it captures the essence of the game in a single still shot.
Definitely agree with SS2 and Deus Ex, as well. Fantastic art and composition.

Maybe I'm a little biased since it really is one of my all-time favorite games. Master of Orion II did have a rather nice box art though. The first one is at least. Though the version that I bought came with the second, IMO much inferior art. Not bad, but it just doesn't stand out as much.

I also love how that box says "from the creators of Civ II". Riiight. It's like saying "New movie X, from the producers of movie Y", which typically doesn't mean a thing in the end. In this case though they both happened to be excellent games.

It sure caught my eye while I was looking at the shelf at Wal-Mart. Of course the price tag at the time and INTERNET CONNECTION REQUIRED scared me away long enough for it to drop to $10.

I'm quite fond of the box art for Probotector 2: Return of evil forces (the name is silly though)

Though this is a bit of an anomaly for me. Usually I find box art that has less going on on the picture to be more appealing. A single focal point, with very little in the way of clutter around it.

Another great cover is the bioshock euroepan box art

You might as well just say Atari 2600. Almost every game had great cover art for that system.

Call me crazy, but something tells me that the first cover may have been doctored with. =P
