IGN has interviewed Dax Berg, the lead designer of the G.I. Joe Rise of Cobra video game. As a child, he was a huge fan of G.I. Joe, and still is. We truly have "one of us", looking out for the fandom and working on the game. Along with facts about his childhood growing up with G.I. Joe, more information about the game was posted:

You can see my love of the comics coming through in the game. Stalker from the cartoon, for example, has a very limited role, but in the comics, Stalker is a big time character. In the game I made Stalker the Field Commander. Anytime there is an issue on the ground Stalker is your man who can help you out. He has the biggest dialog role by far.

As a kid reading the comics I always imagined Stalker sounding like Carl Weathers in the Rocky or Predator movies. It is too bad we didn’t get him to do the voice over for the game, however, David B. Mitchell who plays the role did an amazing job!

One of my highlights of making the game is obviously the filecards. I worked with Brian Reed (who is a great comic book writer himself) on the initial story plot which takes place after the movie and retells a classic JOE story in the new JOE universe. You G.I. JOE fans out their will realize the familiar plot a few mission into the game and you won’t be disappointed. Anyhow, after the script was finished, Brian did not have time to write the filecards with me so Paul Benjamin, our Producer for the PSP game out of Fizz Factor in Austin and I wrote them. Each filecard has amazing artwork attached to it and updated information that I hope every G.I. JOE fanboy will appreciate.

There are a total of 75 filecards in the game that you will unlock as you play through. Each of these filecards was meticulously looked over time and time and again before they were finally approved by Hasbro. You’ll notice they are identical in style to Hasbro’s new toy line and all of the information is correct to the new G.I. JOE universe.
