"Beyond the gameplay, the single most frustrating part of "G.I. Joe" is the camera, which is locked behind the players at all times. Sure, it definitely makes the game feel a lot like the "G.I. Joe" arcade game from 1992, but that game was made in 1992. Back then they didn't have the option to provide a 3D camera in a fully rendered environment. There were points in "Rise of Cobra" where neither I, nor the enemy that I was firing at were on screen leaving me completely lost, confused, and pretty much hung out to dry. A fix for the camera could have created an entirely different game.
While a lot of gamers will have some problems with the gameplay, there are a few redeeming factors for the game. Even with the movie tie-in, there is an overwhelming sense of nostalgia, especially when playing with the original outfits for Duke and Scarlett (but where were the rest), or watching the unlockable..."
With Batman: Arkham City continuing to prove that licensed games can be good, what other properties deserve another shot?
I would love a good GI Joe game...I'm thinking a gritty FPS that is secretly super cheesy. Like, you've got your team of dudes charging into battle yelling "WE'RE OSCAR MIKE!" or whatever, but then they're all carrying laser guns and nobody gets killed.
Holy crap, that last G.I. Joe game was utter crap. Yes, I played it. At gunpoint. Shoulda just taken the bullet.
J Lynch: "It seems like every week when we’re trying to figure out who to pick as the CBotW, we end up looking to the fighting genre because game designers have intentionally made the female characters of that genre appear “over the top” (and quite often in the “top” area). Instead we’ve looked to the action genre and plucked a character from the world of games based on cartoons and movies. While games based on licensed materials rarely satisfy, we think our pick this week for the Cosplay Babe of the Week does a good job."
Actually like that these girls pulled off sexy while be covered. See ladies, you don't have to be half-naked to be hot.
Nice pic. Alodia Gosiengfiao FTW <3

Asians FTW. The one on page two destroys em all. And thatOs taking into account that the others are hot too.
The one doing laundry is the same ciosplayer who does that super popular Morrigan. She's very well 'equipped' for cosplaying.
PlayDevil posted a review of the X360 version of "G.I. Joe: The Rise Of Cobra".
Here's a snip:
"G.I. Joe is a pretty straight up action game, that seems to take most of it's cues (bizarrely) from 'Lego Star Wars' and 'Gears of War'. Obviously, GoW is the action game de jour, so that is obvious, but this game is more aimed at slightly younger people (despite the bizarre 16+ recommended age), so that's where the LSW focus comes from."
