Adam Vale of The Koalition writes: As a kid in the 80’s, I was infamously known for carrying an absurd amount of G.I Joes with me at all times. It didn’t matter where I was going. My pants pockets along with my backpack were always filled with Joes. Fast forward to the present day with two kids of my own and not a single one knows anything about the G.I. Joe brand. Besides a recent line of collectible figures, the toy line is virtually nonexistent. Multiple cartoon reboots have underperformed and the active G.I. Joe game prior to this release is a Free-to-play mobile title. So when I heard that G.I. Joe: Operation Blackout was a new fully loaded G.I. Joe game coming to console and PC I honestly had high hopes.

Playasia has a number of physical games on sale this week including G.I. Joe: Operation Blackout and Override 2: Super Mech League Ultraman Deluxe Edition.

Whilst the gunplay was pretty decent and the story was good enough to warrant a follow, the basic multiplayer scene and poor enemy variety ensured that when it released in 2020, it was nothing more than average at beast. But that's not to mean that G.I. Joe should go totally underground and with the arrival of a new Snake Eyes and Storm Shadow Movie Skins DLC pack, there's probably just about reason to grab your shooter once more. Just."
The concept of creating a good G.I. Joe game should be easy but unfortunately, the attempts keep falling short of expectations so far.
I tried it & brought it back to Gamestop.
What we need is a G.I. Joe reboot on Netflix not this crap. Voltron was an amazing reboot and done well.
