GameFocus: G.I Joe: The Rise of Cobra Review

GameFocus writes: "If you are the modern day, average gamer, chances are you are in your 20s or 30s and have fond memories of various 1980s cultural phenomena that are making a major reappearance on the media radar in the last couple of years, especially in the form of Hollywood blockbuster movies. Regardless of your personal feelings of the rebooting of such franchises as G.I. Joe, there is no denying the inherent kickass potential of a multinational terrorist fighting military organization equipped with the absolute best cutting edge military and espionage technology."

Pros

+ Mindless fun
+ Cheesy but appropriate audio
+ Will appeal to kids
+ Unlockable 1980s PSAs!

Cons

- Bland unimaginative gameplay
- Really, really bad camera
- Terrible vehicle controls and lack of difference between vehicles
- Poorly balanced difficulty levels
- Uninspired graphics and terrible animations
- Some really bad voice work

The Arkham Asylum treatment: 4 licensed properties that deserve good video-game reboots

With Batman: Arkham City continuing to prove that licensed games can be good, what other properties deserve another shot?

THR1LLHOUSE4558d ago

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.

Harry Potter: Modern Warfare!

Tolkoto4558d ago

I'd kill for a great Harry Potter game.

NagaSotuva4558d ago

A new Discworld would require the finest next-generation pickles to succeed.

SybaRat4558d ago

Holy crap, that last G.I. Joe game was utter crap. Yes, I played it. At gunpoint. Shoulda just taken the bullet.

Cosplay Babe of the Week is the Baroness

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."

hells yea I would. That one doing laundry is SO fine.

hay5021d ago

There's something about tight clothes, big boobies and nice asses :D

I'm sold for that asian beauty who dominated the gallery with picture amount. Also last pic from second page. That girl looks evil, I love it, great cosplay.

GunShotEddy5021d ago

Actually like that these girls pulled off sexy while be covered. See ladies, you don't have to be half-naked to be hot.

JohnnyMann4205021d ago

Don't give away the secrets....lol

vgn245021d ago

Something about the red hair on her. She's the asian Baroness?

RageAgainstTheMShine5021d ago

jphelps805021d ago

She have worn that red wig and done Scarlett from GI Joe and do like a both sides thing. Very nice.

charlescox45021d ago

Asians FTW. The one on page two destroys em all. And thatOs taking into account that the others are hot too.

BeaRye5021d ago

The one doing laundry is the same ciosplayer who does that super popular Morrigan. She's very well 'equipped' for cosplaying.
