OFLC: 50 Cent: Blood on the Sand being published by THQ

by Alexander Sliwinski { Oct 13th 2008 at 12:00PM }

Australia's high-strung ratings board, the OFLC, notes that 50 Cent: Blood in the Sand will be published by THQ -- at least in that region. The game received an "MA 15+" rating last Friday. Holla atcha boy if you happy it ain't banned.

The 50 Cent sequel had previously been dropped by Activision during its merger with Vivendi, which caused rumors to spring up that the game had died. But much lite Fitty getting shot, Developer Swordfish Studios got back up and announced that the game was still in development and trying to make a holiday release. THQ was previously speculated to be a publisher for the game, but the OFLC rating is the first piece of evidence of that claim's validity.

I've noticed that we seem to be the only two commentors on the 'stiq who think this might actually be good.

Dirty @ Oct 13th 2008 2:30PM

Oh... sorry.... I was being sarcastic.

I mean it might be good... its just fun to make fun of it. Im sure it will be.... a game.

You know it depends on your audience, whats good for me might not be good for you.

You know what Im saying?

This piece of shit found a publisher but still nothing for Ghostbusters? Really?

StrangeBum @ Oct 13th 2008 12:54PM

I wouldn't worry about that too much, there are also rumors floating around that there is going to be a new Ghostbusters movie in the works before long.

The only plus/downside to the new movie is it will apparently be an Apatow produced comedy with his cast of regulars like Seth Rogan, Bill Hader etc...

Monkey Thing?!!? @ Oct 13th 2008 12:08PM

Inevitable that someone would pick that up, much to the dismay of many

However, Brutal Legend still sits lost and Forlorn.

Monkey Thing?!!? @ Oct 13th 2008 12:09PM

wtf? Why's Wario back? Where'd Jamie go?

Dirty @ Oct 13th 2008 12:21PM

Seriously, Brutal legend needs to happen. I say we all band together and finance the publishing.

Vidikron @ Oct 13th 2008 12:35PM

Wait a minute... you changed your name?

Moobyghost @ Oct 13th 2008 12:09PM

How is it that this piece-o-shit game gets an official public announcement or a new publisher but we can not get any official word on whether a quality title like ghostbusters is being saved.

50 cent isn't worth his name let alone a sequel to a a shitty game.

Bring on the GBs!

OOH OOH LET ME GUESS!!

Is it because THQ knows that a bunch of wiggers and 12 year old kids will buy this game simply because it has 50 cent on the cover, thus having the game sell loads of copies just like the first game did?

StrangeBum @ Oct 13th 2008 12:56PM

If you can play as Barack Obama they have my money.

Jeremy @ Oct 13th 2008 12:12PM

Are you saying Barack Obama is a gangsta? That's racist.

Jack of No Trades 85 @ Oct 13th 2008 12:18PM

Yes, he is a gangsta....a political gangsta.

No, I thought it would be funny to say that since this game is located in the middle east and alot of retarded old people think he was born there lol

Sorry I watch too many political shows.

Jakka @ Oct 13th 2008 1:07PM

@ Jeremy

Actually, he's a mulatto.Thus unless he had a second dad who was like Chinese or sth, he can't be any more politically correct...

Also he's not a "Gangsta", he's "Fascinated by the Ghetto and Cultural Aspect of Black Working Classes.".
Get your shit together and watch what you're saying or you might turn out racist!
