After a first episode they wish we'd forget, Vivendi strikes back and gives us five screenshots of 50 Cent II: Blood in the Sand. The game is supposed to be a Gears of Wars Clone, with Fifty and his G-Unit crew shooting around somewhere in Iraq. Promising...
Update: 1 image added, and previous ones in 1080p. Release planned "this fall".

So 25 Pence has gone to Iraq to kill muslims, does anyone know if Al Qaeda will be releasing a game where you go around killing 25 Pence and his G-Unit.

Phaethon needs to purchase this game.

I can be The Game, and he can be 50 Cent. Oh wait The Game is gone, whoops. Well, I call Lloyd Banks then I guess...I ain't playing as 50. We're going to stop those terrorists, or die trying!

What in the hell has the world come to when shit like this gets released, and the best thing is, they have put some effort into it on the visual sides.

Fucking G-Unit ...dont make me laugh.

Posted by Pyrochaos

How could they have possibly made enough money on the 1st game to justify a 2nd?

If it's a Gears or War clone instead of fighting Locust they fight whitey?

The first one sold 1.5 million. To Vivendi that sort of means "success".

The amount of allowed racism in the comments is awesome.

50 Cent apparently still is the shiz in the entertainment bussiness so they milk it.You want to do something about it ? Don't watch their shitty shows on TV to give them ratings and smack a 50 Cent fan near you.Or whatever bs artist media feeds you.
Stop complaining,act...educate a blinded by media retard near you.Beat the sh*t out of him. :)

It feels like a stupid marketing idea, I dont like hip-hop, so I am unlikely to buy this game, even if its as good as gears. The thing is the shots don't look that bad, its just the fact that it feels cheap with such a weird license attached to it. It has nothing to do with 50 cent does it, I mean he doesnt really go out capping people, its just stupid. It should be like a rhythm action rapping game or something.

Thank you, sometimes really i wonder how "blacks" and other non whites are looked upon in other countries like England and France..the things i hear from this board trouble me.. blatantly stereotypical remarks and borderline/ racist comments aside, i dislike his music, and style, plus 3ps are tired..give me an "A Tribe Called Quest" game by Tim Schaffer so we can all find nirvana.

questionable logic, (AQ=/=all muslims) and calling him 25 pence is lame. He's not english, and you can't just go around converting peoples names into your local currency! >__<

It was sarcasm and I'm not implying that all muslims are terrorists, I'm pointing out the fact that AQ will try and use this game as propaganda for their cause just as they have used the Danish cartoons.

My point is that the Middle East is still a touchy subject when it comes to media interpretations. Granted there are a few games out there where a war torn Middle East is the setting, but your character is usually a soldier or a mercenary not a world famous rapper.

You asked for it, and no, I'm not making this shit up:

I can see the connection being drawn up there! Nah, what's inspired the title is, 50 and G-Unit are putting on a sold-out performance somewhere in a fictional Middle Eastern setting. This is where the 'blood on the sand' comes in. They put on the performance; the people are pleased, but the concert promoter stiffs them and doesn't give 50 and G-Unit their payment.

So, of course, 50 isn't going to leave until he gets paid, so he hassles the concert promoter, [saying] if he doesn't come up with the money now, there will be consequences. And instead, the promoter offers him a very valuable gift – something that's valuable to this particular country – a diamond encrusted skull.

So 50 gets the skull, and as he's about to leave this war-torn country, when they're ambushed and the skull is taken. They escape the ambush, but they're without the skull. So 50's motivated to get what belongs to him. So basically, throughout the game, he's trying to track these people down and find out who they are and why he was ambushed.

It's not Fifty. It's Fiddy. And let's not be racist. The game looks kinda cool.

Were racist because we think that its a stupid game that is doomed to suck by the first 50 cent because its centered around a black guy. Give me a break.

haha I wonder who came up with that crazy story.. It sounds so trashy it almost has to be good :)
The graphics are pretty nice actually but I guess that`s gonna be the only positive thing about that game. What a waste!

The last game wasn't exactly bad.. It was just average. Average story, average gameplay, etc. This will probably end up average too, but I'll be surprised if it ends up above average. Besides, with the gameplay they're cloning from(killswitch, not gears), it should end up ok.

Yeah theres being politically incorrect and theres being racist, imho a couple comments crossed the line, but anyway.

Yeah, surely this can't be a GoW clone when 50 the game was out before the 360 was even mentioned on anyones lips (i think?) anyway, we need more games like this

Aerosmith - Bombs over bahgdad (a modern flight sim based in Iraq, with your fav aerosmith members as playable pilots!)

GC: Day Of Judgement - Star as Gary Coleman as he leads an elite team of US Navy Seals through Korea to stop the manufacturing of WOMDs

Barbie, American Pride - Cheer on our brave boys and girls!
