It's called City of Heroes, and besides being an awesome game, the powerful character creator lets you create some near perfect Joes/Cobras. Only bummer is the game costs 15 clams a month to play, but the character creator alone is nearly worth it to me. I made Zartan a martial arts scrapper, although I almost made him use a katana...

Looks sweet, and with that weapon he has you could make everyone's favorite character...Razorclaw!!! :D

Ha ha, that's not a weapon, just bad positioning in the screen shot. That's actually a tower in the background, :P

Freedom Force is another great game. It has corny superhero characters but also has a great character creator too. There are a few characters you can download from the internet that are GIJOE/COBRA characters. Here are the only ones I can think of right now: Beach-Head, Shockwave, COBRA officer, Iron Grenadier, COBRA Commander(except his mask doesn't make sense cause it looks like Firefly), and Snake Eyes. The game is much cheaper to get now than before, I think it's $29.99 or less.

hey curm, how long has that game been out for?

I just read a review that said it's been out for a month. I just got it yesterday, but I stayed up 'till 3am playing it. If you even remotely like MMORPGs (like Dark Age of Camelot) or if you love comic books, I would recommend picking it up. Here are a couple of reviews:

yeah i was just reading the reviews on the web sites i read and it did very well, im totally impressed and will probably buy it tommorow, thanks for posting this

too bad someone couldn't make a command and conquer type joe game i'd never leave the computer

If you get the game Bison let me know, we can make some Joe-inspired characters and play together.

You should get Freedom Force. Then we can play against each other too. :D
