Top 40 Video Game Covers of All Time

A list of the "top 40 video game covers of all time" has popped up over at PSDTUTS, and a sizeable number of role-playing game covers made the cut. Among them you'll find Baldur's Gate II, Diablo II, Fallout 3, Jade Empire, The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion, Deus Ex, Mass Effect, World of Warcraft, System Shock 2, BioShock, and Ultima VII: The Black Gate.
Once you've reached the 7th game in a franchise, people know what 'Ultima' means. That's why when your game is called 'The Black Gate', you can afford to have a black cover with nothing but your logo on it. This brilliantly under-stated design allowed the Ultima brand to speak for itself: a clear statement of self-confidence. The game is widely regarded to be the best in the Ultima franchise and one of the best RPGs of all time.
