However, even within the context of something we're not pleased about in general, we can find reason to praise the company. Specifically, the terrible, stock-photo-bearing boxarts for their Imagine series. Ubisoft has redesigned the cover art for the series, switching out the fonts, losing the bubble-based layout, and replacing the images with something presumably not pulled from an iStockPhoto preview image.
Absolutely the best thing to come out of this development is the accompanying NeoGAF thread, which has been loaded with absolutely hilarious (and, occasionally, vaguely NSFW) Photoshops. Just look at those, and the new official boxarts, and not the screenshots of Imagine Babyz.

The Animal Doctor coverart reminds me of a young Jessica Alba...

It's good that they're using... less bad... covers for these games. Anyways, I had some good laughs from those Photoshops you linked. The Miyamoto holding Super Mario Galaxy was really funny

While these American boxarts are less vomit-inducing than their European counterparts (I said LESS! They still make me want to lose my lunch), I am still disgusted by their abuse of the English language: Babyz.
It's bad enough they think it's "kool" to end a plural word with a "z" instead of an "s," but then they use the singular form of the word!
I hate to be such a Grammar Nazi, but it's things like this that drive me insane. :(
