Games where someone is yelling in the cover art.

I don't know why, but I find it hilarious when a character seems to be screaming their lungs out in the box-art of the game.

Any submissions are more than welcomed, 'cause I'm sure that there a few that do it that I can't remember or don't know about.

A lot of these will inevitably fall on the middle ground of not knowing if they're really screaming or if they just have their mouth open, but in this case I think it's funny to think the blue thing is screaming at Yoshi.

"Oh this is a cool list. Let me check what I've play- Sees Camp Lazlo: Leaky Lake Games" ...well it counts.
It does count, Raj it's certainly scream in that one. Adding it right now!

My final contribution... warioware: get it together. Wario screams in agony, rest his soul.
The joy-cons change a man... I'll add it in a moment!
Don't forget Doom 3!
I would also say Brilliant Diamond/Shining Pearl
I had my reservations with Pokémon cover arts since there are qwuite a few you could consider the legendaries are screaming, but in BD/SP case it is more exaggerated, so yeah, I'll add both of them and Doom 3 right now!

This list has had me flicking through the games on my shelf deciding whether people are actually screaming on these covers or are just holding their mouths randomly agape but the few I’ve come back with were Silent Hill 4 and Adventure Time Hey Ice King Why’d You Steal Our Garbage

There’s also Mighty Gunvolt one of the many debate pieces of “is he actually screaming or not” but I’ll let you decide
That is by far the hardest part when deciding which games to include in this list; I think it's more clear to know if they are screaming when they are ather angry or seem scared, and if not it's much, much harder to decide. he first two you mentioned are going for sure, but the third one it's one of those cases while the have their mouth open, they don't give the feeling that they are yelling or screaming, but rather just saying something or a grunt.

Again,it's VERY hard do distinguish and decide, but sometimes I just go with my gut feeling.

Yea for sure, there’s also Dragon Quest 11 S many mouth open dragon quest covers but if it’s not this one then none of em
Bloodnet, Expeditions: Viking and Doom 3 Resurrection of evil fit perfectly, tho Nightmare of Decay doesn't give me the feeling of it being screaming, and I would include Bionic Commando: Rearmmed with no problem, in fact I did want to include it defore... but the site's box art doesn't have the dude screaming, which has to be like a crime in some country!
@Hilda that one I think does meet the criteria. Added!

You need Handball 17 on there. King among kings.
How have I never heard about this, this box art is pure fucking gold. I don't know who they got to do it but give them a medal, it's the worst thing I've seen and I love it.

Bloodroots? Chrono Trigger (although it happens a lot with anime covers), Pokemon Gold.
I would have to recommend Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story, if you feel this would count.
Also, Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon 2 would work. Great list, btw!

This list is awesome. I think Tunic might be worth considering. Stubbs the Zombie and Crazy Taxi seem like a shoe-ins as well.

@Lot0 Both Bloodroots and Chrono Trigger are going in for sure, but as I said before, I'm a bit torn on adding too many pokemon games, since I don't want to clutter the list with too many of them, but I can't say no to a screaming chicken. I'll add then right now!

@Corrugated_Fox I think both fit perfectly! Bowser seems mad enough to be consider its screaming, so I think it counts. And thank you so much! I'm having a ton of fun filling it and seing eveyrones submissions :D

@TheMatee It's actually already on here, is the first one of the sixth line!

@cowboyjosh Thank you very much! As I said, this is being really fun to fill, and in great part is thanks to evryone's submissions, so than you and eveyrone for keeping this one rolling :D! I actually considered Tunic before, but I think it falls into the ''mouth open but not screaming camp'', where it seems to calm to be screaming and rather is more likely it's just a pose. But Stubbs the Zombie and Crazy Taxi are a match made in heaven for this list, both are going in for sure!
I completely forgot about this one! I'm honestly kinda surprised that tehr aren't more fighting games where someone is screaming in the cover, don't know why, but it seems the tyoe of game where it makes sense XD. Added!

Shatterhand (NES) would fit great!

Also I think most Kirby covers with angry eyes might count????
