Early in the day we brought you some Hasbro/Electronic Arts news in which any mention of G.I. Joe was sadly absent. Variety fills in the hole in our hearts, confirming that Electronic Arts will indeed be publishing a G.I. Joe title.
There's bad news, so brace yourselves -- it's based off of the film, which is likely to be a complete and utter bastardization of the fiction some of us have come to know and love as children. We reported on some of the film's casting late last year, when it came to light that Lost Planet actor Byung-hun Lee would be filling the tabi boots of white ninja Storm Shadow.
No details on the game were confirmed by Variety, but one can guess that the game will be playable on anything with a screen. In other news, Ziff Davis staff members are off somewhere snickering in your general direction -- Electronic Gaming Monthy's Quartermann mentioned this title some time ago in his/her/its monthly column.

Sad panda is sad - leave my childhood alone.
As far as the movie goes, with Ray Park they can't loose.
insect politics ftw
Splice the season mode from Madden with the roster of known and user created Transformers and add the essence of X-Com. Send them on random and story missions (read play games in a season). Buff them out. Get witty banter depending on who's grouped together. Ultimately bring down Megatron (hell or Optimus.)
Just something palpable and decent. The Armada based game on PS2 had so much right going for it . . . waa
I actually had porkchops for dinner tonight, how convenient.
THIS IS ALL I CAN THINK OF:
Anyway, probably do not want. What I really want is a video game based on the current Joe comics. Or the nes game on the virtual console.
Just look at the transformers game, cars that turn into robots and do shit, what was the game about? A beat-em-up with horrible driving mechanics.
Can you be Snake-Eyes? (Well, and 'Will it be any good' of course, but didn't EA also do the Medal of Honor games? Granted those were a *little* more realistic than GI JOE, but still, its good vs. evil on the battlefield so... I doubt they'd mess that up.)
