G.I. Joe: The Pursuit of Cobra Game Online at Hasbro’s Monkeybar TV

March 11th, 2010 1:43am GMT+5 by WildWeasel

Hasbro has posted a Flash based G.I. Joe: The Pursuit of Cobra game over at their Monkeybar TV. Just like the theme of the Fall 2010 toy line, you are chasing after Cobra around the world in City Strike, Jungle Assault, Desert Battle and Arctic Threat missions. It is not bad for a side-scrolling game and considering that it is a Flash, the game play is kind of fun. Some levels are a little harder than others. I’m not sure if you change characters during the levels or not, but you do start out as Recondo in a G.I. Joe Steel Marauder mech during the “Jungle Assault” mission, as Helix during the “City Strike” mission, as Dusty using the Delta 6 Flight Suit (what Desert Battle Ripcord was to come with) during the “Desert Battle” mission and as Snow Job in a Rockslide ATAV during the “Arctic Threat” mission. It is definitely a little something to do, to pass the time. So head on over to Hasbro’s Monkeybar TV and check it out. Thanks to Justin @ GeneralsJoes for the heads up.

Review of IDW’s G.I. Joe: Origins #13

March 9th, 2010 7:48pm GMT+5 by WildWeasel

Terror Drome staff member joshdahl has reviewed this week’s G.I. Joe: Origins #13 for you. The first issue of a 2-part story focuses on Wallace Weems, aka Ripcord. I think most fans can agree that Ripcord has been the focal point of much controversy this past year and to most, it is not good. But that aside, what is IDW’s version of Ripcord like? Written by Scott Beatty and art by SL Gallant, we get the story of Ripcord’s “rebirth” and we find a familiar friend that IDW is hoping fans will like. So read Josh’s review to find out what he thinks of this issue and be sure to pick it up tomorrow, March 10th at your local comic shop. There are two covers, one by Gallant and the other by fan favorite Tom Feister.

“He makes jokes throughout the issue, but he is no Marlon Wayans. He is simply the new comic version of the character. Just like all of the other characters in the new comics are the new comics versions of themselves.”
