1UP: G.I. Joe First Look Preview

"In the great pantheon of ’80s one-liners, falling somewhere between "Where’s the beef?" and "What’chu talkin’ ’bout, Willis?" we have G.I. Joe’s "Knowing is half the battle!" It’s no great surprise in our retro-loving culture that the iconic ’80s cartoon (and the toy line on which it is based) has been tapped for the summer blockbuster treatment. Or that yesterday brought word of a tie-in video game, which will be released in August to coincide with the film.

Electronic Arts will publish G.I. Joe for just about every video game console and game-supporting handheld device currently in production. Yesterday’s seasonal EA preview event in New York City brought a pre-Alpha eyes-on glimpse of one of the game’s levels. In it, series mainstays Snake Eyes and Heavy Duty picked apart a force of Cobra soldiers stationed at a desert installation."
