We're not positive (yet), but the more material we see from 50 Cent: Blood on the Sand, the more sure we are that it's going to be the best game ever made. Barring that, it's almost sure to be the best one featuring the theft -- and subsequent retrieval -- of a diamond-encrusted skull by a hardcore rapper (except, of course, for Kid Chameleon).

Things we love: When Fiddy takes a shotgun blast to the chest without flinching; when Fiddy casts his assault rifle aside to kick a guy in the junk and when Fiddy is assaulted by not just a white guy, but (for the benefit of those of you who are not so much with the symbolism) the whitest guy on the face of the Earth. We're betting that guy's name is White E. Theman, but that's just a guess.

Best. Game. Ever.

this game would be much better if we get to be the villains and shoot him all day.

Phranctoast: Apr 28th 2008; 12:04PM

First day purchase if that was the case ;)

MarkHawk: Apr 28th 2008; 12:07PM

This game would be much better if it turned out to be a joke like everyone thought it was when it was announced right around April 1st.

GatorSax2010: Apr 28th 2008; 12:14PM

The man's been shot nine times and it hasn't killed him yet, so I don't know how effective it would be. It would be an unwinnable game.

t_m: Apr 28th 2008; 12:52PM

10th time lucky?

PSN: KillaKornbread (the shirt is a lie!): Apr 28th 2008; 1:04PM

Mr.ESC: Apr 28th 2008; 1:19PM

"he's bulletproof remember? how are you going to shoot him with bullets? shot 9 times already and still kickin lol"

I say people should keep on trying until they ran out of cake.

Rememeber quitters never win.

"See the debut trailer for 50 Cent: Blood in the Sand"

...why

Lijik: Apr 28th 2008; 3:06PM

Because its so ridiculously over the top and actually well edited that it emits 100% pure awesome in every frame in its attempt to win you over ... or die tryin'.

xFenixKnightx: Apr 28th 2008; 12:04PM

Man, someone has alot of time on their hands to be making a late April Fools joke here.

NATO_Duke: Apr 28th 2008; 1:12PM

Yeah, im callin shenanigans! This is obviously just footage from his last vacation. Where's the game?

JerJer: Apr 28th 2008; 12:05PM

MOAR PLZ

Esat Dedezade: Apr 28th 2008; 12:10PM

OH RLY?

Mr.ESC: Apr 28th 2008; 1:20PM

The freaking banana is a spy!

peteH: Apr 28th 2008; 12:06PM

This should be named "50 Cent vs. Iraq." And FYI, the guy at the end wasn't white, he was some kind of albino mastermind.

riggs: Apr 28th 2008; 12:10PM

"bwahaha i will scare you with my pinkish reddish eyes and skin tone.....BWAHAHA!"

DangerMouse: Apr 28th 2008; 12:10PM

As a white person, i'm highly offended.

Ethan: Apr 28th 2008; 12:12PM

I'm just offended as a person.

Mutant: Apr 28th 2008; 12:20PM

I'm offended as a gamer!

tmacairjordan87: Apr 28th 2008; 12:38PM

You're white you're not allowed to be offended

Chameleon: Apr 28th 2008; 12:41PM

rv: Apr 28th 2008; 12:41PM

as a self aware machine, i am offended as well.

GatorSax2010: Apr 28th 2008; 12:44PM

As a diamond-encrusted skull, I'm offended.

riggs: Apr 28th 2008; 12:50PM

as sand, i am offended that he touched me.

t_m: Apr 28th 2008; 12:54PM

Its political correctness gone mad!!!!

Mr.ESC: Apr 28th 2008; 1:15PM

As Supreme Overlord of the world I highly dislike him.

Kye - Joystiq Greybeard: Apr 28th 2008; 2:14PM

As a rap music lover, I'm offended.

mezzanine: Apr 28th 2008; 8:55PM

I actually like it

xFenixKnightx: Apr 28th 2008; 12:12PM

What if the game was 50 Cent:Blood in Beverly Hills? Brrrrrrrrrrraaapp, I puts my gat in ya mouf Paris Hilton! That way, RE5 protesters can shutty!

Phranctoast: Apr 28th 2008; 12:18PM

Even if that did happen you still wouldn't see any uproar. Double standard.

Marty: Apr 28th 2008; 12:13PM

Please excuse my complete lack of excitement.

ogvor: Apr 28th 2008; 12:15PM

So how does the media react to this game? Do all the politicans who hate the violent videogames AND rap music have to fight or defend a game where the main character is (apparently) ridding the world of terrorists?

StarFoxA: Apr 28th 2008; 12:16PM

This game could be worth it just for the laughs.

McWeen: Apr 28th 2008; 12:17PM

Welcome to the new 50 Cent game, please leave your brain at the door and keep your seat in an upright position.

Nigeria - MK: 0430-8491-9123: Apr 28th 2008; 12:19PM

To be honest, that mantra could be applied to 95% of games out on the market.

Nomi: Apr 28th 2008; 1:40PM

ya mcween...big time fail comment there.

McWeen: Apr 28th 2008; 1:54PM

How does one fail at an opinion? I actually think this game looks like fun btw.

rockintom: Apr 28th 2008; 3:06PM

Of course opinions can fail!

"This game looks awesome!"
"50 cent is the bee's knees!"
etc.

D_Average: Apr 28th 2008; 12:17PM

I guess this is what you do after you "retire" from hip-hop.

DangerMouse: Apr 28th 2008; 12:20PM

If his albums are any indication, the next game will be a night-club simulator.

Caitie: Apr 28th 2008; 12:21PM

White E. Theman is actually running VP for John McCain, in case you didn't hear.

Uh, but yeah... this game is going to rule so hard.

voodoo_craig: Apr 28th 2008; 12:23PM

You know when you put your tongue between your lips and blow (I think it's called a raspberry) and make that noise like a fart? Well, how would you type it?

That is how I feel about this game.

Phranctoast: Apr 28th 2008; 12:27PM

Meg?

KiraXD: Apr 28th 2008; 12:52PM

i learned how to type it from reading Calvin and Hobbes, i believe its spelled

thhhhhhbbbbbbbbttttttt!

StalkerDan: Apr 28th 2008; 12:23PM

So what’s the plot of this game? (If there even is one.)

That 50cent is the only one that can take down terrorist when US troops can’t and also do it in style in a black hummer?

t_m: Apr 28th 2008; 12:57PM

That would be more logical.

I think its something like: 50 cent goes to the middle east for a benefit tour, but evil terrorists steal his blingin diamond encrusted belt buckle so he kills an entire country.

Philip (Fernando Rocker Defence Force): Apr 28th 2008; 3:06PM

The plot is that Mr. Cent goes to do a concert for the troops in an unnamed country and when he is done they don't have any money to pay him so instead they give him a diamond encrusted skull. The skull gets stolen and in the game Mr. Cent must go out and kill people to get his skull back.

wootman: Apr 28th 2008; 12:28PM

wait, how do terries get so nice of guns?
or did one just carry it around in case fiddy wanted to grab it from him?
Also, poor heli guy.
he just flew.
and now hes dead.

ill trooper: Apr 28th 2008; 12:29PM

?!?

That was nuts! Leaping and prowess of a leopard... a rapping, vengeful leopard with working knowledge of every modern assault weapon, a leopard that GETS SOME ASS and doesn't hesitate to tell you all about it in a hot 16 bars!

Seriously, though, while this game looks ridiculous and the concept is clichéd, this looks like any commercial we saw for Army of Two, so I can't really act like this is some sort of sign of the apocolypse or anything. The difference is, I suppose, that when the 'Ironman' game comes out, the guy is called 'Tony Starks' and not 'Robert Downey Jr.'

...I know I've joked about it before, but is he getting his money back from Damien Hirst at the end? What's with the skull?
