When we first read the title
50 Cent: Blood on the Sand (the
previously untitled sequel), we, like you're surely doing right now, prayed for
Fugitive Hunter-esque hi-jinx that would have Fiddy & friends sorting out the U.S.'s problems in Iraq and getting home in time to record a new smash hit with Rhianna ("
I'll stop those terrorists ... or die tryin'"). Sadly, MTV has shattered our dreams, reporting that the game "sets 50's character against a cabal of international gangsters on a far-flung, bullet-riddled adventure." Missed opportunity? Table for 1? (There are
some screenshots here if you want to get a better feel for the new setting.)
On the plus side, the game will have nothing plot-wise to do with the poorly-received
50 Cent: Bulletproof. There's also encouraging word from Vivendi producer Aaron Blean who said, "We've emphasized the gameplay quality [more] than anything this time around." We think we speak for everyone when we say, "Yes. Yes, that's a good choice."

I see your "wtf?" and raise you a "lol..."

1 Dollar says Fat Joe will be an unlockable boss character.
The level of suck exuding from this game hurts my soul
Shagittarius @ Mar 26th 2008 3:38PM
Are we gonna hear from Yahtzee this week?
Count Noobula @ Mar 26th 2008 4:19PM
His review is on Zack and Wiki for the Wii. Funniest one yet.
Synner @ Mar 26th 2008 3:39PM
The only game I'd pay to play with 50 cent in it is one of those bb gun shooting galleries at the carnival, and only if i got to shoot at the real 50 cent.
NATO_Duke @ Mar 26th 2008 4:12PM
Thats more or less what I was thinking as I read this. How about a game like Raving Rabbids where we just shoot at him while he dances around. $5 XBLA title confirmed.
James @ Mar 26th 2008 3:40PM
OMFG... in one of the screenshots, 50-cent is punching a guy so hard in the side he erupts a spout of blood.... that's amazing!
PojoMofo @ Mar 26th 2008 7:02PM
my favorite is the one where he is shooting at the helicpoter with a machine gun.
DefDealer @ Mar 26th 2008 3:44PM
Hmmmm...should be intersting
Phranctoast @ Mar 26th 2008 3:44PM
They are really going out of their way for an April Fools Joke!!!!

Where did you learn all that cool talk? =P Im actually blown away that the Stiq would even cover this game. Either way...its teh garboj! Too bad because it will still sell. lol

BBBBRRRRAAAAAAAPPPPPP.

Hachi_Roku (Smash FC: 3308 4430 1503) @ Mar 26th 2008 3:50PM
Why must we refer to him as Fiddy? Last time I checked it was Fifty....
baby sea tuna @ Mar 26th 2008 3:51PM
Last time *I* checked, it was Curtis.
Phranctoast @ Mar 26th 2008 3:54PM
target practice is better ;)
baby sea tuna @ Mar 26th 2008 3:50PM
You're fucking kidding me.
FOXHOUND @ Mar 26th 2008 3:53PM
The real humor lies in whether or not it turns out to be an ARMY OF TWO clone.
baby sea tuna @ Mar 26th 2008 4:03PM
And it'll probably be just as good.
Wubbytoes @ Mar 26th 2008 3:52PM
This is without a doubt the dumbest idea for a game I have ever seen.
Bleu @ Mar 26th 2008 3:55PM
I dont know lets not be so quick to judge this one.
Vegeta (aka Ska Oreo) @ Mar 26th 2008 4:21PM
Dude.
1. It's fucking 50 cent. That right there is one massive pile of failure
2. The first game was a fucking multi-million dollar success. They really aren't going to improve this game that much, especially when they know the BET generation will eat this up on name recognition alone.
Bleu @ Mar 26th 2008 4:46PM
Yup they are that gulliable. LOL

I've tried those before, they didn't work...
What's your secret?
zelderman @ Mar 26th 2008 6:05PM
THAT'S. FUCKING. AWESOME!
ProfWho @ Mar 26th 2008 4:01PM
Holy shit the levels of fail that are emanating from this "game" is off the chart.
I think now humanity no longer deserves to exist when fucking 50 is going to the middle east to take out terrorists.
I gladly look forward to a nuclear holocaust where that piece of shit with his ridiculously retard games (and speech) are no longer hurting the very existence of space/time itself.
THE WICKER MAN (BWF) (GT: Dalek Prime) @ Mar 26th 2008 4:42PM
how dare you dalek. you survived through me.
ProfWho @ Mar 26th 2008 4:48PM
@THE WICKER MAN (BWF) (GT: Dalek Prime):
No, I surrived through the void ship. I am pure Dalek.
And I am ready to go back to the void where I will be safe from the fail that this game is producing.
DangerMouse @ Mar 26th 2008 4:02PM
Maybe something to do with blue balls? I'm not really sure.
samfish (Brawl: 2793 0291 2277) @ Mar 26th 2008 4:02PM
FINALLY! A shitty game NOT coming to the Wii!
Mr Khan @ Mar 26th 2008 5:23PM
damnit, i wanted to say that
Kiros @ Mar 26th 2008 4:09PM
I'm pre-order this, nothing is more better than rappers shooting terrorists...NOTHING.
Raikage (LDF CRAB BATTLE!!!) @ Mar 26th 2008 5:07PM
Except playing as the terrorists shooting the rappers...
Now THAT is a game!
Vegeta (aka Ska Oreo) @ Mar 26th 2008 4:19PM
I...I...
Why Vivendi? Why do you hate black people?
EMaster @ Mar 26th 2008 4:19PM
Gimme a sec.... BAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARF.... ugh I'm not done BLUUUUUAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHH! Oh for the Love of God.. BLUUAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAaa!!!!! Needless to say this game will go gold since there is so many dumbass blind fiddy fans out there that could make his songs in under 10 minutes using AcidPro 6 and a pirated eastcoast hip hop loops DVD and sound better. Look out parents... THIS is the game to give to Jack Thompson.
KookieMustar @ Mar 26th 2008 4:22PM
Is there room where they buried all those old E.T. Atari cartridges, because E.T. is about to have some company.
dartendaspartan @ Mar 26th 2008 4:38PM
I think it would be better if they actually sent 50 cent to Iraq; I'd pay for that!
eclipse27 @ Mar 27th 2008 12:03AM
I fought in Iraq for the U.S. Army.....i dont wish that on no one.....I've had buddies of mine die in combat....not a cool thing to say
Walt Jay @ Mar 26th 2008 4:34PM
Didn't the first game sell over a million copies? Seeing a sequel shouldn't be too shocking.
THE WICKER MAN (BWF) (GT: Dalek Prime) @ Mar 26th 2008 4:38PM
I hate this living pile of excrement. Who shot at this preening jackass stormtroopers? Talentless hack to "star" as stereotype "hero" of "game".
Captain Blaggers @ Mar 29th 2008 12:36PM
That's a pretty racist thing to call him.
THE WICKER MAN (BWF) (GT: Dalek Prime) @ Mar 26th 2008 4:39PM
Ive decided your avatar needs to be photoshoped to feature Bob Crane in the back ground throwing a used condom away while daisy licks his feet and peach revels in the debauchery.

zero2dash @ Mar 26th 2008 4:45PM
Why not release the worst possible game of all time, ever and cause a massive cataclysm that signals the end of the world as we know it and simultaneously makes Bill Gates, Shigeru Miyamoto, and Ken Kutaragi's heads all 'asplode' at the same time.
You know you want it - "50 Cent: 187 Ride or Die" edition.
