Games I Wish Had the Same Visual Style As Their Covers

Not saying some of these games aren't stylish in their own right, but DAMN.

The last few listed here refer to covers other than the ones Backloggd features.

I too would love a mech combat RPG where every character is David Bowie

Some cool games that fit the bill of Wipeout 3's cover are Cosmic Smash, Rez, and Boson X. There are others that go for the wireframe look but those are the stand-outs I can think of off the top of my head

oh hell yeah – hadn't heard of Boson X; might check that out – thanks!
