In case you wanna hang with Fiddy, he’s going to be chillaxin at Play N Trade in NYC tomorrow from 3:30-5pm ET. Why, you may ask? To promote Blood on the Sand, of course. Only 2 months late…
The Play N Trade at 137 E. 13 Street will play host as 50 will hand out with fans and play Blood on the Sand. What strikes me as hilarious is that the store will only have BotS playing on one of three demo stations. Because when Fiddy comes to town, why not give him all three demo stations? Do you really think people are going to stand in line to play a demo of some Genesis games? (That’s half the demos at my Play N Trade, in case you’re wondering)
Based on the call with 50 Cent we had back in February, I’d venture to say he’ll have some choice things to say. Maybe he’ll play the sex tape of Rick Ross’ baby mama.
I know what you are thinking. A video game based on a rapper? Video games based on anything are usually awful and 50’s first foray into gaming with Bulletproof did not exactly leave us with a lasting memory of excellence. I tried to play this game with as much impartiality as possible and I was honestly surprised; the game is pretty good. Once you get past the absurd storyline and dialogue, the game plays like a better than average shooter and has some great ideas that will be imitated for future titles.
I got a chance to spend some time with various other game journalists yesterday afternoon talking with 50 Cent about his upcoming game, Blood on the Sand. The call started out all good and well, but things got pretty turned around quickly with Fitty going off on various issues.
The biggest quote to come out of the call was Curtis Jackson (50 Cent to you and me) saying he’s working on getting the rights to make a film adaptation of Saints Row. “With my relationship with THQ, you’ll actually see me develop Saints Row into a screenplay and into a film project. I’m optioning the rights to that now.” Whether he actually gets those rights is still up in the air, but it would be interesting to see his take on the game.
Fitty’s new game is dropping next week, so why not hear what he has to say about it? I’ll actually be speaking with 50 Cent next week, so stay tuned for that. For now, just watch.
Let’s see, getting back a blinged out skull, yep that’s a great story. Apparently, it took a lot of thought and not a lot of drugs. Who would have guessed?
One of the best selling men’s magazines in the world has just released their review of 50 Cent: Blood on the Sand and they have rated it better than both Killzone 2 and SF IV. Yeah, that just happened. Killzone 2 got 3.5 of 5 circles (they use circles instead of stars), SF IV received 3 of 5 and 50 Cent received 4 of 5. Since I have not played any of the games yet, I cannot honestly say that they are wrong, but really? If this is true, expect Sony fanboys to be jumping from bridges everywhere.
He’s back. This time he has friends, a duck and cover system, and he is looking for a crystal skull that is owed to him from an unpaid gig. Sound absurd? Just watch.
Another rapper has decided to challenge all gamers. 50 Cent has had a chance to play Blood on the Sand, since he is the star of it after all and has decided that he would like to challenge any of you out there to beat him at his own game.
“I actually had the opportunity to play it, and I’m pretty good at it,” he said. “If anybody out there wants to create a challenge or wants to bet some money online, we could play the game right now.”
Now, I have no knowledge as to how good 50 Cent is at games in general, but if I had to venture a guess I would say he is just average. I would like to take this opportunity to call on all gamers, any gamer for that matter, to take on 50 Cent and destroy him in this game. Maybe that would finally put this whole silly “rappers vs. gamers” thing to rest. Playing games is nothing like rapping because gaming requires at least some talent. Yeah, I went there.
If any one is interested 50 Cent: Blood on the Sand is due for release in January and it has also been revealed that there are 19 exclusive tracks included in the game.
I really don’t know what to say here. Might want to wear some sandals. Might want to walk you ass into oncoming traffic. Might want to do a lot of things that don’t involve this game.
Be careful folks, there is blood out there. Blood on the sand. Yes this is real and yes there will be blood, on the sand. Follow Fitty and co as they shoot there way across the desert in search for a diamond encrusted pendant. True story.
