Kotaku: 50 Cent: Bulletproof

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.

Yes, There Is Going To Be A 50 Cent II

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.

Yeah, sure, I like "In Da Club" and "Hate It or Love It" too, but just because the dude has some finger snapping jams doesn't mean we need another game with his visage slapped on it, do we? Sometimes I feel like I'm talking to a wall, Vivendi Games!

On WoW's Back, VU Games Revenue Up in '05

It could be the giant cash cow that is World of Warcraft helping out their numbers, but strong sellers like F.E.A.R. and (gulp) 50 Cent: Bulletproof probably helped the company achieve a 35% increase in revenue over the year. Coincidentally, VU Games' fourth quarter numbers were down seven percent from 2004 - but Half-Life 2 and World of Warcraft shipped to retail that quarter and definitely boosted sales.

50 Cent Pimps Bulletproof to Kids

50 Cent really is an idiot. In a recent interview with Reuters the rapper turned actor turned, apparently, video game activist said that parents should buy his mature-rated video game for their kid because buried beneath the over the top violence and drugs is a way for him to make more money. That's not he real excuse, but it makes about as much sense as it.

So Bulletproof is apparently meant for kids, I guess that explains the infant-sized faux bulletproof vest the press kit came with.
