Why Robin Makes Batman Better Remember 50 Cent II, the sequel to discography-cum-video game 50-Cent: Bulletproof? The game that Sierra named 50-Cent: Blood on the Sand? The one that has a love-interest, slick graphics and tons of blood?
Yeah, it’s dead. Caught in the unflinching cogs of big video game business, mergers, and close downs, we hear. Victim of a flooded genre and a potential publisher with one too many shooters on its hands.
But don’t cry for Fifty. We hear the G-Unit-sporting rapper got his appearance cash, while Swordfish, the team behind the budding game, is likely to get sold off.
You gotta love this business.
As you’re already aware, the story/excuse behind putting 50 Cent in the desert with a bunch of guns is great. Amazing, even. Know what’s greater and even more amazing? This trailer.
50 Cent remains hopeful that his new game, Blood on the Sand, will be a true gaming hit and not something that rides on the coattails of his music like he did with Bulletproof.
The game’s producer, Aaron Blean, told MTV that he sat through a demo of the game three times several weeks ago and was “really excited”.
The producer also talked up a mysterious love interest in the game that, brace yourself, 50 Cent came up with. Oh, this is going to be a grrrrreat game.

Man, lots of embargoes have been lifting lately. The latest? Early this morning Sierra lifted the embargo on their Gamers Day, held earlier this month in San Francisco. Our Flynn De Marco attended, churning out impressions of eight upcoming Sierra games, including Ghostbusters and 50 Cent’s latest title.
Since 50 Cent has lent his name and likeness to video games, you’d think he was a gamer. Not so! Says the rapper: I wasn’t a crazy video-game head. But my son is crazy about them, so he sits and plays them all day. I’ll play with him … he beats me at those games. He likes to bring me around so he can beat me.

We’ve got a little more info on today’s darling of the internets, the unexpected sequel to 50 Cent’s first game outing, Bulletproof. This time relating to the game’s story. A story of blood, sand, promises, treachery, revenge and…a crystal skull. Which we’re guessing somebody was paid to write. I…you…look, just read this, will you?
Yep, Fifty and the G Unit are back. The follow up to 50 Cent: Bulletproof, the educational shoot ‘em up in which the rapper took on a criminal organisation out to get him, is known as 50 Cent: Blood on the Sand. According to the MTV reveal on the Vivendi-published, Swordfish Studios-developed title, the details of whom 50 and his G’s will be shooting at are still super secret. We know 50′s going somewhere sandy, bringing AI and player controlled buddies with him and that Formula 50 Vitamin Water and bottles of bub will most likely be consumed.
It was simply inevitable. With Vivendi shipping well over a million copies of 50 Cent: Bulletproof to over a million suckers with crap taste in shooters, a sequel was expected. According to a cover snap of the latest issue of EGM, 50 Cent II, as we’re calling it now, is reality. It’s getting the “first look” preview treatment in next month’s mag, something for which we’re sure the boys at EGM were gentlemanly enough to feign interest in for a well-deserved exclusive.
