Cubed3: G.I. Joe: The Rise of the Cobra Review

Cubed3 writes: "As an inevitable tie-in to one of the biggest box office flicks of the summer months, G.I. Joe on the DS has a lot to live up to for fans expecting that something extra after the movie experience. Descended from the popular line of toys that peaked in popularity in the 80s and 90s, and which has continued in some form to the present day, The Rise of Cobra serves as a sequel to the events of the live-action film. But is it another licensed dud or should it receive a commendation?

As you may expect from a game of this type on the DS, The Rise of Cobra keeps the story on the afterburner. Long story short, Heavy Duty, part of the elite G.I. Joe special ops group, gets captured by the commander of the enemy group from the movie, COBRA. With the five remaining team members at your disposal, you have to rescue the big guy and stop the commander's schemes. The story's played out with painfully grainy and static character art adjoined with plain text between levels, so chances are it won't be on your mind for long..."

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?

THR1LLHOUSE4559d 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!

Tolkoto4559d ago

I'd kill for a great Harry Potter game.

NagaSotuva4559d ago

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

SybaRat4559d 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.

hay5022d 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.

GunShotEddy5022d 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.

JohnnyMann4205022d ago

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

RageAgainstTheMShine5022d ago

jphelps805022d ago

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

charlescox45022d ago

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

BeaRye5022d ago

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