With the release of 50 Cent: Blood In The Sand looming, it is probably wise to take a step back from the (lack of) hype and take a look at what the game will involve. The protagonist slot will be, once again, filled by everyone’s favourite bullet-riddled east coast rapper, 50 Cent and the game will be set in a fictional Middle Eastern-based country.
Yeah, Fiddy. Beating up Middle-Eastern people in a game. No controversy there…
By taking the frankly whimsical idea that a rapper is some unrealised form of super-warrior and then plonking him with all the weapons you like in the Middle East has removed any form of realism that there might be about this title. With release due for February 20th, perhaps, following GTA IV’s overly serious approach, this will be a breath of fresh air. I wouldn’t want to put too much wind in its sails though.
