We'd buy that for a dollar: 50 Cent sequel in latest EGM
64
We're not sure if greenlighting a sequel to a game that garnered an impressively low 47% review average is such a smart idea for Sierra if it needs to keep it from the chopping block when (and if) the Activision merger goes through. To be fair, the company was probably looking more at the million plus sales of the game in the UK and North American (you chumps) than the dismal ratings; in other words, business as usual in video game land. We don't know much about the game, outside of what's been spotted on the cover of the upcoming EGM – which promises "first looks" and, try to contain yourselves, "first screens" – but we do know how to wag our fingers in disapprobation. For shame Sierra ... for shame.

I've decided that I'm going to violently destroy every copy I see once it hits store shelves.
Who's with me?

Please remember this is their April issue. Anyone heard of April Fools, this has to be a joke.

Nope, this is the May issue. The April issue has GTAIV on the cover, remember? http://www.1up.com/do/feature?cId=3166739

You must not have any magazine subscriptions, magazines are usually out a month ahead, for example in March the April issue comes out. The joke was LEGO Halo.

I don't see the point magazine subscriptions anymore, considering the internet has everything up to date instantly. Ever since I got my hands on the GameBoy Advance SP, I didn't have any more uses for magazines what-so-ever.

I remember working at gamestop and having a sale on 50 sent.
if you bought the psp version (discounted) you would get a FREE copy of the ps2 version... and we STILL couldn't sell it.

The real gag seems to be "31 downloadable games previewed." What sane person would just preview 31, possibly Flash-based, games?

Wait, this is in the bible :O
In the year 20 09, judgement day will come :O
Guess when this releases, that will be that day, judgement of anyone drunk enough to happen to buy this.
Saying that, you know that all the chavs will have this and GTA in thier collection, long live chavs.

The sad thing is is that this game will probably be a million seller too.
Sigh, the world really is filled with stupid people.

Actually Tree Fiddy would be the seventh game in the series. Let's hope it never comes to that.
btw Sam, can I borrow Tree Fiddy?

No it should be 50 centFu! Featuring 50 cent and Shaqueal O'Neal in a unique fighting game with unresponsive controls and a camera that hates for some inadequate reason (explained at the end of the story mode).

Is 50 Cent still relevant even to the people who bought the first game?

I can't believe I'm gonna say this, but right now would be a good time for Jack Thompson to stop a game.
