For those of us who don't obsessively follow the gaming industry and have a list of all upcoming titles stapled to the insides of our thighs (by "us" we mean "our parents), a game's box art can make or break the game. It's what draws the consumer to pick up the box and turn it around to see what it's about.

Sometimes publishers will either forget that, or not care enough to put any effort into the design. Perhaps they throw a generic-looking robot under a logo and drown it in Photoshop flare filters.

Games Radar has compiled a list of 15 of the worst box art designs of 2007, which includes everything from that John Deere game to The Orange Box. Grab your eye bleach and take a gander.
