Fiddy's friend says Blood on the Sand "as good as Gears of War"

by Richard Mitchell { Jun 11th 2008 at 6:00PM }

This should allay everyone's fears about 50 Cent: Blood on the Sand. According to TeamXbox, a member of 50 Cent's G-Unit crew, Tony Yayo, has been quoted as saying that Blood on the Sand is "looking as good as Gears of War." Lofty words to be sure. Of course, given the source, we're a little skeptical. Fortunately, Yayo doesn't seem to be the only one impressed with the game, as TeamXbox also reports that Epic's own Mark Rein told CVG he was "blown away" by the game last year. In fact, even our own Terrence Stasse managed to enjoy the game during a recent Sierra event.

Who knows, maybe Blood on the Sand will make us all forget about Bulletproof (or die tryin').

It looks interesting, but I'm not buying it, no matter how good it might be, because it involves 50 Cent.

The 50 Cent game scenario reminds me of the Sopranos scene where they abduct a famous film writer, portrayed by Timothy Daly, and force him to write their script.

mike @ Jun 11th 2008 6:15PM

same here. If it didnt have 50 in it I might consider it. But Im going to ignore it just because I hate the fact that a rich rapper who knows nothing about games just wants to make more money and hires some1 to make a game revolving soley around himself to make more money and make himself look cool.

No way am I giving into that crap. Im sure all the 50 fans will tho, like they did with the first game :(

Besides, GOW2, is almost here, not interested in a game like GOW1 ATM.

Cal @ Jun 12th 2008 4:22AM

I might rent it, just to watch 50 get himself gunned down by an army of angry arabs

mtgo @ Jun 13th 2008 2:08PM

Someone please send 50-cent to a real war. I'm so tired of these lame rappers calling themselves soldiers while the real soldiers are out there fighting for their freedom.

Neuromancer @ Jun 11th 2008 6:23PM

I buy it

Gamertag: GOPAL892005 @ Jun 11th 2008 6:30PM

lol - this game wont have anything on Gears of War - it may look good visually [i'm not convinced], but the gameplay & storyline will most likely be absolute sh*t.

Jonman @ Jun 11th 2008 6:37PM

This makes me wonder why more celebrities don't commission games starring themselves:

Pat Buchanan's Sin-o-Rama.

Vacuous Tramp: Paris Hilton edition.

The possibilities really are endless. I clearly missed my calling as a greenlighter for a major publisher.

ZEBRA NINER @ Jun 11th 2008 6:39PM

I'm all over this! Cover system FTW!!! :P Seriously though, I'm going to try this. I don't care if it sucks, I have to try it.

Come on guys! Fiddy+Cover system+Poppin' caps in suckas= Halo-Killer. ;)

Chase @ Jun 11th 2008 8:29PM

Wouldn't dodging bullets defeat the purpose of being 50 Cent? ;x

stevend1038 @ Jun 11th 2008 8:36PM

@Sophtaveus

I actually laughed my ass off at that :)

EMaster @ Jun 11th 2008 6:54PM

Fiddy`s friends also are potheads who couldn`t anounciate a single word without saying the words "uh" and "Yeah" in between ever 3 words. Some people only like playing their own games I guess.

EMaster @ Jun 11th 2008 6:59PM

I would love to see an O'rieley (sp?) game where you get to tell people off and stuff. Kinda like postal

Sophtaveus @ Jun 11th 2008 8:00PM

well maybe postal 3 will stop being tba one of these days...

SilverArrows @ Jun 11th 2008 7:21PM

Honestly, no matter how good the game maybe (I totally doubt its any good at all), the premise is just so bull$hit that no one should buy this game.
If this is not racist, then I don't know what racist means.

andrew @ Jun 11th 2008 7:30PM

This game looks like it came from an episode of 'The Boondocks.' Most likely won't buy, even if it's good.

TehAdz @ Jun 11th 2008 8:04PM

I've been needing to clean out my friend's list for awhile, and this is gonna help show who needs to gtfo of there quickly.

...Although I did have Bulletproof. And I liked 50 cent.
How long ago was Bulletproof? Long enough for it not to count, right? Right??

JimyD @ Jun 11th 2008 8:06PM

Weren't people saying the same thing about Haze being comparable to Halo 3? We all know how that turned out.

BananaBoat @ Jun 11th 2008 8:19PM

I'd rather jam an inanimate carbon rod into my bum than play this game. Atleast that way I'll get the worker of the week award.

halebound00 @ Jun 11th 2008 8:54PM

I would rather castrate myself, eat my poop for a year, watch my parents humping, and be forced to play atari games for the rest of my life than play this game. Screw Fiddy, he better hope Kanye doesn't come out with a game the same week he does. He won't make any money off of it....wait a second, he won't make any money on it anyway.

emirabal @ Jun 11th 2008 9:03PM

Wow, some of the comments are just ignorant, i understand that you might not like 50 but if the game is hot, maybe just maybe you might want to consider trying it, just maybe, i wonder if it was called i dont know something like Tim McGraw Ash of my fathers it might be worth checking out, that game actually sounds cool.

SadisticHam @ Jun 11th 2008 9:13PM

Or maybe, just maybe I'd rather take a gun and shoot myself in the foot, over and over than support such a jackass in anything.

Don't care what it scores, I'd never buy it.

...Well...ok maybe if i got to shoot him, I might consider it but only if he cries and screams like a girl.

emirabal @ Jun 11th 2008 9:18PM

ok, ill give u that

Wilhelm @ Jun 11th 2008 9:28PM

50 Cent is still alive? Oh, I thought Game had killed him (along with his little G-Unot boy band) with 300 Bars a long time ago...

wtfwazthat @ Jun 11th 2008 11:05PM

That other game he made I forgot the name was good. I couldn't even beat it. Maybe he meant the blood on the sand literally?

T-BoNe254 @ Jun 12th 2008 12:27AM

His music is horrible, why would his games be any different? Not to mention that any money he gets from this game will go straight to the production of another shitty album, therefore I will not even consider this game even if all my friends got it, it received unanimous 10/10 scores, and anything else that does not have any chance of happening...

Adam @ Jun 12th 2008 12:49AM

I dont support games that are cash cows for the non worthy.The only idiots that would buy this are the same morons that lined up for any album from eminem after his first album.

Its all about "ohh my gawdz fitty fiddy fiddle doodle has a game.Weez gutz to buy datz shiz homez.

Its like the morons that support sony after how bad sony fucked them with the ps3.Yeah i was pissed when my 360 rrod but atleast ms sent me a new one with a free 3 year warrenty.Sony keeps laying the wait game on these poor fools.

HE4VENSENT @ Jun 12th 2008 1:29AM

maybe he should go help the troops in the middle east instead of making video games of him in the middle east.

kyuss74 @ Jun 12th 2008 3:45AM

i guess thier holding back on the good lookin pics.

modelvillage @ Jun 12th 2008 5:01AM

Its a dead cert that this is gonna suck ass...

Boff @ Jun 12th 2008 6:53AM

Fiddy's friend says Pigs can Fly "as good as Birds of Prey."

Haohmaru @ Jun 12th 2008 8:46AM

50 Cent should stick to making sub-par music. Leave the sub-par games to those who do it right. lol

Drew @ Jun 12th 2008 9:53AM

From Wikipedia...

"G-Unit are putting on a show somewhere in the Middle East. The crowd is pleased, but the promoter refuses to pay 50 Cent and G-Unit. The promoter does not give them money, but a very valuable diamond encrusted skull instead.

G-Unit are about to leave the country when they are ambushed and the skull is taken away from them. The game then continues with the group trying to get what's rightfully theirs and finding out who ambushed them and why in order to get revenge."

I'm sold. They had me at "very valuable diamond encrusted skull."

Rick @ Jun 12th 2008 10:00AM

Wow, this definitely is going to have as deeply rich and cinematic of a storyline as COD4. Er, or at least as good as Cop and a Half, starring Burt Reynolds and that annoying little kid. Well, maybe not quite as good as Cop and a Half, but at least as good as the Aquaman game. Um, maybe.
