Iraqi Bootleg PlayStation 2 Video Game Covers Are On Some Next Level Counterfeit Hustle

With no real cover art to use, Iraqi video game bootleggers are getting creative (at least, that's one word for it).

Reddit user SIink7 posted a gallery of PlayStation 2 knockoffs he found in an Iraqi market, and the cover art sure is... something.

Above is Bloody Roar 3, but it appears to feature The Boss from Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater.

Here's a favorite from the Reddit thread:

That sure looks like Agent Smith from The Matrix, but why shirtless? And with a tattoo of Fallout's Vault Boy on his abs? We can't even guess.

We're beginning to sense a pattern here. Apparently every game takes place in the jungle...

 ... like Call of Duty 2: Big Red One. World War II sure was scenic.

And what better way to honor a masterpiece like Shadow of the Colossus than with characters from other games on the box?

Fans of Dynasty Warriors and Darksiders will love this version of the game.

For a few more knockoff covers, including the illusive PS2 version of Call of Duty: Ghosts, check out SIink7's imgur gallery and Reddit thread, as well as some funny commentary from our friends at Kotaku.
