Corvin's custom Halo trilogy cover set

Thought I would tackle a matching cover set. Halo 1/2 are the only original xbox games I have so I thought I'd convert them to the 360 layout since they are backwards compatible. I wanted a nice clean set, and wanted all three games with a similar layout using 360 'neon' green cases to fit in with the rest of my collection. At any rate here's the first one. Not sure if I'm finished or not, but here it is:

Oh yeah. I didn't think about that being on the top banner on the front. I might have to do something about that.

Those are indeed cool.. My only critique with them is on the 3rd cover. That is the worst level in all of the 3 Halo games...

I hated that level.

Other then that.. fantastic job!

If I could get some blank green cases and print those out, I'd definetly replace the stock inserts.

Way to go Corvin. I'd love to see more of these for other BC games, I have to have an awkward setup with my games to seperate the BC and non-BC Xbox games.

I don't need those as I've got steelbooks for 2 & 3, but I gotta say Corvin, that is some VERY nice work! Good job.

Corvin, do you put up these and your other DVD covers up on a site/available to download?

90% of my covers can be found on R1DB.com, including the Scene It? cover I did. I haven't upped the Halo covers anywhere yet. My username is just Corvin there, as it is on any of the major cover sites if you are looking to find something easy.

I was wondering how Miyu entered into the conversation.

I guess that means I need to change that picture.
