Ever stop to wonder just what, exactly, is on our box art? Wonder no more, with this study breaking down the trends, statistics and content of gaming's front covers.

Games Radar collected 100 recent games at random, threw them in a pile, then broke down exactly what was on the cover. Men, women, guns, not guns, the works.

Their findings? 54% had a man on the front. 10% had a woman on the front. 36% had a man/woman combo. Most men were holding weapons, and looked mean. Most women also held weapons, but were smiling. Only 7% featured somebody that wasn't white. Only 2% had an elderly person on the cover. And finally, only 3% of the covers featured a half-naked woman, with only Runescape, Onechanbara and X-blades flying the sexist flag.
