I love adventure games, almost as much as Scuba loves ZJ’s, if it is possible to love something that much. The first time one of my friends came over to my house and had a copy of Maniac Mansion, my obsession began. LucasArts brought such classics as Indiana Jones & the Fate of Atlantis, Full Throttle, Grim Fandango, and Day of the Tentacle to my computer screen, while Sierra occupied days of my life with Kings Quest, Police Quest, and Rise of the Dragon. Many consider Myst as one of the last hoo-rah’s of the Adventure gaming fad.
Well now it’s back baby! With two of the best, The Secret of Monkey Island and Beneath a Steel Sky just to kick it off. Telltale kept the heart beating strong with Sam & Max and Strong Bad episodic adventures but the true resurrection has begun…. on the iPhone.

So this press release came across my desk a couple days ago. But I’ve struggled to wrap my around it for a little while. 50 Cent, otherwise known as Curtis Jackson, is getting another video game, entitled 50 Cent: Blood on the Sand. To be honest, after thinking about this for a little over a half hour, my brain made a concerted effort to flee my body.
Why, oh why, do we need another game surround the thug life of 50 Cent and friends Lloyd Banks, Tony Yayo and DJ Whoo Kid? It’s supposed to be a co-op experience like Gears of War. But what the hell are you going to do? Run around trying to cap Kanye and Cam’ron? Try not to take that 10th magic bullet that could kill you? I can’t wait to see what kind of antics Fitty and friends will be up to this time.
If your head hasn’t imploded like mine, keep reading for the full press release and some more screenshots… who holds a fucking uzi like that anyway?
