Soulja Boy game coming to Xbox 360 in 2009

by Richard Mitchell { Dec 9th 2008 at 1:45PM }

There's not much more to say really. Soulja Boy, game critic and online gamer extraordinaire (and also rapper), has dropped a bomb on the gaming world: He has a video game heading to the Xbox 360 in 2009. No details about the game have been revealed. According to Soulja Boy it was inspired by the "challenge" he recently posed to Xbox Live gamers.

In his own eloquent words: "After I put the Xbox 360 challenge up on the Internet, it was over all these video game sites. And a couple video game companies hit me up on my email because I put the email on there too. And hit me up like, 'Blah, blah, blah, blah.' So I was like, 'Oh snaps!'" Soulja Boy neglected to mention which game companies contacted him. That's unfortunate, because we really need to know who is responsible for this. No word yet whether his game will be for people who smoke or people who drink.

Just what we need, another ignorant fool on a video game, Just like 50 cent bullet proof. I really hate these fake rappers these days, Next little Wayne will come out with a game. So lame.

Jeramy @ Dec 9th 2008 2:00PM

ugh please don't compare lil wayne to soulja boy or even 50 cent.

rTwelve xbl:Chilblane @ Dec 9th 2008 2:12PM

No, let's do. I'm sicking of hearing him in EVERY SONG.

GoBob @ Dec 9th 2008 2:28PM

@rTwelve xbl:Chilblane

HA! So true. I'm so sick and tired of hearing his voice. Him and Akon.

Ugh, I HATE Akon. We get it, you like to pretend that you went to jail. Shut up already.

Ventrix @ Dec 9th 2008 2:34PM

I'm sorry Jeremy, but lil' Wayne is absolutely garbage. He is another one of those pop r & b rappers that have ungracefully helped destroy real hip hop. He talks about STD's and girls menstrual bleed. He throws random sentences in his lyrics and he calls it rap..... i don't think so. Listen to some real hip hop like Jedi Mind Tricks, Jurassic 5, and Wu Tang.

Dave @ Dec 21st 2008 9:02AM

for being so sick of lil wayne, you guys sure talk about him a lot, and listen to his music enough to acknowledge his presence in it. I'm pretty sure you guys secretly like him, whether you admit it or not.

un4gvn94538 @ Dec 9th 2008 1:52PM

more like its for people who smoke AND drink

vahdyx @ Dec 9th 2008 2:47PM

I smoke and drink and still won't be getting this game!

Ed @ Dec 9th 2008 7:09PM

...because you're going to die before it comes out?

Jesse @ Dec 10th 2008 6:14PM

@Ed: I'm pretty sure I haven't died from drinking and haven't even come close to dying due to smoking, and neither have any of my older relatives.

Now on the other hand, I know people who have died but neither drank or smoked... hmmmmmm... maybe its you who will die before the game is released!

Gotta love the brainwashed youth of America.

Ventrix @ Dec 9th 2008 1:58PM

So true

AjDaChipmunk @ Dec 9th 2008 2:08PM

OK, Soulja Boy, wackest "rhyming talker" in America. He does not deserve a video game.

And I kinda think the last line of the article was kinda uncalled for...

xenocidic @ Dec 9th 2008 6:21PM

if you're talking about the "people who smoke or people who drink" but you'll have to watch his braid review to understand the joke.

sjs2626 @ Dec 9th 2008 6:43PM

They weren't referring to him, but this video: http://www.joystiq.com/2008/09/17/soulja-boy-tells-em-about-braid/

AjDaChipmunk @ Dec 9th 2008 7:34PM

Ah, ok I see. I didn't bother to watch his Braid "review" before.

Perno @ Dec 9th 2008 2:08PM

It will be a game made by a gamer...I'll probably rent it. Couldn't be any worse than Need For Speed Underground.

Lanceo9 @ Dec 9th 2008 2:17PM

what about yaris?

lysernix @ Dec 9th 2008 4:15PM

I'll put money on this game being leaps and bounds better than Yaris. Yaris was so god-awful that it remains the only free game that actually made me disgusted it was so bad and prompted me to immediatley delete it *AND* go searching for ways to expunge it from my recently played list.

So... anyway ... it will be better than Yaris, by default.

Heck... I would possibly rent it depending on the game's premise. For one... I got a barrel full of laughs from his "calls out ecks-bocks" gamers video.

SiGuy @ Dec 9th 2008 2:21PM

Yeah another stupid game possibly after a one hit wonder rapper. But it's not the rappers who makes the games... it's the developers who design it. Everyone that has posted so far sound like a bunch of urban youth haters. Just don't buy it the game like any other lame game that has been put out. Stop the targeting of the icon being used and criticize the actual designer jerk-offs... bunch of McCain-Palin assholes on this site. Go eat yourselves.

Miguel @ Dec 9th 2008 3:16PM

"mccain/palin assholes"?

Nice generalizations buddy! I'm sure everyone who criticizes soulja boy is automatically a republican, and an asshole at that.

This is a website for gaming, one in which most people like quality games therefore they have every right to criticize what seems to be a crappy cash cow/sellout game.

Chester @ Dec 9th 2008 2:09PM

oops never mind, guess they deleted that idiots comment! GOOD!

iamnotafish @ Dec 9th 2008 2:14PM

The image is only funny with the caption that Joystiq gave it (http://www.joystiq.com/2008/12/09/soulja-boy-game-coming-to-xbox-360-in-2009/)

Otherwise, its just a random picture of an Xbox 360 gravestone.

Sylvanus @ Dec 9th 2008 2:21PM

Thanks for the clarification, but I think we all got the implied caption anyway...any game this pathetic coming to the 360 is at least a flat line.

BKB @ Dec 9th 2008 2:14PM

Lil Wayne = Soulja Boy. They're both awful... and I like rap.

I hope you can "superman dat ho" in his game

kentawilson @ Dec 9th 2008 2:18PM

You must don't know shit about rap if you comparing Lil Wayne to this fool.

Ventrix @ Dec 9th 2008 2:42PM

Agree. Lil Wayne is not real hip hop. He is another joke of the industry. He is their to make his money then bounce.

joeybeast @ Dec 9th 2008 2:20PM

I'll consider a rental if I get to shoot Soulj Boy in the game.

Binja @ Dec 9th 2008 2:21PM

Soulja boys music is popular due to the fact that it celebrates ignorance. It's listeners hear it and realize that they are not the only stupid people in the world. It is comforting to know that you are not the only waste of genetic material clogging up the planet. His music gives its listeners a reason to continue failing and teaches them to reject those who make any attempt to better themselves.

But here is the thing: Without "people" like Soulja Boy, who would make you french fries? Who would pump your gas? We need people like Soulja Boy to give the ignorant a role model to cling to. Otherwise they might better themselves and become active members of society. If their are too many doctors, nobody is left to clean the bedpans.

So yeah, I am totally buying this game. God bless Soulja Boy. Without him I would not have any dopes to mop the floors at my college, take my order at dinner, polish my hybrid, or give me a sense of smug satisfaction each time that I pull out my iPhone to make a call or open my MacBook to fire off an email. I love the poor and ignorant people of the world. And Soulja Boy keeps them that way.

duro @ Dec 10th 2008 1:35AM

ok, i think you are taking this a bit far. have you ever thought that some of the people that do these jobs dont have any other choice? All the jobs that you mentioned are good honest ways to make some money. not everyone is as privileged as you are with your iphone and macbook, as if those were status symbols haha. what would you do if you didnt have all these people doing things for you?

anyway back to the point. its like anything else that you dont like to see, hear or do, just dont. If you dont like hearing lil wayne, 50 cent or soulja boy all the time, stop listening to the radio! thats your problem right there. if you dont like soulja boy, dont buy this game. i dont like tony hawk games, i dont buy them. then good games like skate come out. lets look on the bright side, when this game flops, companies/rappers in this biz to make a quick buck might think twice.
