This is a continuation of the feature suggestion thread for FanArt support in XBMC:
http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid=30083
XBMC now supports FanArt for Movies, Music, TV Shows, Weather, and Plugins:
http://wiki.xbmc.org/?title=FanArt
I now believe that XBMC is currently only missing support for Game FanArt, FanArt for Games. Making specific game titles enjoy the same background backdrops eye candy galore.
Example of a site that hosts FanArt for games (where you can upload/download yours!):

Add your +1 here in this feature suggestion thread if you want to see this in XBMC some day.
I have also submit a new ticket on trac for this for tracking purposes, please not comment in that ticket unless you have some constructive ideas about development or want to submit a patch for it:
http://trac.xbmc.org/ticket/5683
PS! Later once XBMC gets a Games Library which support Arcade ROMS and launching third-party emulators directly, we might want to also want to have "Arcade FanArt" in XBMC as well, separated from the normal Games FanArt, meaning for the emulators that XBMC will support launching nativly?
