It appears that this largely reviled, totally not final version of Mass Effect 2′s cover was nothing more than a passing high-resolution fancy. The stars of Mass Effect 2′s box, who will defend the universe against whatever menace is to the right of the game’s case, are Commander Shepard, Thane the Assassin, Miranda and the planet Tuchanka.
Those unsatisfied with either box art option still have the collector’s edition to consider.

Who cares? Are you playing the game or are you gazing at the case? I pre-ordered the collectors edition though, for the stuff…

I think it looks dull, amateurish and not befitting a series as grand as Mass Effect. I know it’s a very, very minor thing to complain about, but you’d think that Bioware could have designed something better given their artistic talent, seeing as gamers everywhere are saying both covers are crap. The Collectors Edition cover is really slick IMO, has a great minimalist style.

Its the woman who ruins it – not because she isnt in the kitchen, but because she looks ‘tarded.
