One day, the videogame industry will grow up and you people who want to plug a videogame into a franchise will have to rise to the occasion. You'll have to actually try to make a decent game. But until then, stuff like the G.I. Joe videogame contributes absolutely nothing when it comes to growing your franchise. So enjoy whatever lucre you get from this bauble. It comes at the cost of your franchise.

Having watched that show during my younger years, I was excited when a movie based on the franchise came to cinemas this year. Sadly, the movie turned out to be a complete waste of time and an over-the-top production of a much cherished show. So naturally when the video game was released, I wasn't expecting anything great either, and sure enough I had little joy playing this title."
Gamez writes: "Yo Joe! Your mission is as follows: walking through a dozen levels in four different environments, shooting at anything loose and stuck it to the end and try to keep up. Small tip: take your finger off the trigger any time."
