Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen kicked off the whole Augmented Reality gimmick on it’s Blu Ray disc, overing kids, fans, and adults with an affinity for large robots the chance to interact directly with the Transformers characters. All you need is a PC with a webcam, a brand new copy of the Blu-Ray disc, and some time to waste.
Well, as first reported by Paramount, and now covered more in depth by IGN.com, G.I. Joe: The Rise of COBRA (which hits Blu Ray and DVD Tuesday, November 3rd) also features the Augmented Reality gimmick, this time offering up a chance for you to play a cool interactive fighting came featuring Snake Eyes and some of COBRA’s most sinister members. Check out the article on IGN.com for more information, and be sure to pick up your copy on DVD or Blu-Ray this Tuesday!

I know it’s been a really long time coming, but I finally am ready to announce the two winners of the Ultimate Guide to G.I. Joe (2nd Edition) contest that I ran a little ways back. There were so many great entries that it was really tough to choose the primary winner based on the submitted articles. But I’m happy to announce that the winner of the “Which Era is your Favorite” entry is: Scott Nacey!
He submitted a great essay about the Real American Hero line, and really broke down each era and subset of G.I. Joe very nicely. I will be posting his great article next week.
In second place was an email that was chosen randomly, who will also get a copy of the Ultimate Guide to G.I. Joe (2nd Edition), and to choose that winner, I required some assistance…
So, the winner of the second copy is… James Strickland! I will be notifying the winners via email shortly to get mailing addresses, etc… I want to thank everyone who submitted articles and entries to GeneralsJoes’ first contest. Congratulations to the winners!
To any folks who didn’t win, it’s still available for a great price at Amazon.com!
