This should allay everyone's fears about 50 Cent: Blood on the Sand. According to TeamXbox, a member of 50 Cent's G-Unit crew, Tony Yayo, has been quoted as saying that Blood on the Sand is "looking as good as Gears of War." Lofty words to be sure. Of course, given the source, we're a little skeptical. Fortunately, Yayo doesn't seem to be the only one impressed with the game, as TeamXbox also reports that Epic's own Mark Rein told CVG he was "blown away" by the game last year. In fact, even our own Terrence Stasse managed to enjoy the game during a recent Sierra event.
Who knows, maybe Blood on the Sand will make us all forget about Bulletproof (or die tryin').

It looks interesting, but I'm not buying it, no matter how good it might be, because it involves 50 Cent.
The 50 Cent game scenario reminds me of the Sopranos scene where they abduct a famous film writer, portrayed by Timothy Daly, and force him to write their script.

same here. If it didnt have 50 in it I might consider it. But Im going to ignore it just because I hate the fact that a rich rapper who knows nothing about games just wants to make more money and hires some1 to make a game revolving soley around himself to make more money and make himself look cool.
No way am I giving into that crap. Im sure all the 50 fans will tho, like they did with the first game :(
Besides, GOW2, is almost here, not interested in a game like GOW1 ATM.

Someone please send 50-cent to a real war. I'm so tired of these lame rappers calling themselves soldiers while the real soldiers are out there fighting for their freedom.

lol - this game wont have anything on Gears of War - it may look good visually [i'm not convinced], but the gameplay & storyline will most likely be absolute sh*t.

This makes me wonder why more celebrities don't commission games starring themselves:
Pat Buchanan's Sin-o-Rama.
Vacuous Tramp: Paris Hilton edition.
The possibilities really are endless. I clearly missed my calling as a greenlighter for a major publisher.

That other game he made I forgot the name was good. I couldn't even beat it. Maybe he meant the blood on the sand literally?

Honestly, no matter how good the game maybe (I totally doubt its any good at all), the premise is just so bull$hit that no one should buy this game.
If this is not racist, then I don't know what racist means.

This game looks like it came from an episode of 'The Boondocks.' Most likely won't buy, even if it's good.

I've been needing to clean out my friend's list for awhile, and this is gonna help show who needs to gtfo of there quickly.
...Although I did have Bulletproof. And I liked 50 cent.
How long ago was Bulletproof? Long enough for it not to count, right? Right??

Weren't people saying the same thing about Haze being comparable to Halo 3? We all know how that turned out.

I'd rather jam an inanimate carbon rod into my bum than play this game. Atleast that way I'll get the worker of the week award.

I would rather castrate myself, eat my poop for a year, watch my parents humping, and be forced to play atari games for the rest of my life than play this game. Screw Fiddy, he better hope Kanye doesn't come out with a game the same week he does. He won't make any money off of it....wait a second, he won't make any money on it anyway.

Wow, some of the comments are just ignorant, i understand that you might not like 50 but if the game is hot, maybe just maybe you might want to consider trying it, just maybe, i wonder if it was called i dont know something like Tim McGraw Ash of my fathers it might be worth checking out, that game actually sounds cool.

Or maybe, just maybe I'd rather take a gun and shoot myself in the foot, over and over than support such a jackass in anything.
Don't care what it scores, I'd never buy it.
...Well...ok maybe if i got to shoot him, I might consider it but only if he cries and screams like a girl.

50 Cent is still alive? Oh, I thought Game had killed him (along with his little G-Unot boy band) with 300 Bars a long time ago...

His music is horrible, why would his games be any different? Not to mention that any money he gets from this game will go straight to the production of another shitty album, therefore I will not even consider this game even if all my friends got it, it received unanimous 10/10 scores, and anything else that does not have any chance of happening...

maybe he should go help the troops in the middle east instead of making video games of him in the middle east.

From Wikipedia...
"G-Unit are putting on a show somewhere in the Middle East. The crowd is pleased, but the promoter refuses to pay 50 Cent and G-Unit. The promoter does not give them money, but a very valuable diamond encrusted skull instead.
G-Unit are about to leave the country when they are ambushed and the skull is taken away from them. The game then continues with the group trying to get what's rightfully theirs and finding out who ambushed them and why in order to get revenge."
I'm sold. They had me at "very valuable diamond encrusted skull."

Wow, this definitely is going to have as deeply rich and cinematic of a storyline as COD4. Er, or at least as good as Cop and a Half, starring Burt Reynolds and that annoying little kid. Well, maybe not quite as good as Cop and a Half, but at least as good as the Aquaman game. Um, maybe.

Because Tony Yayo's name is synonymous with video game commentary.
