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!

Blizzavision Conference Call

Mark Wilson — Mon, 03 Dec 2007 11:40:20 MST

This morning, Activision and Blizzard cracked the OJ for an AM conference call to investors (and of course, interested gaming media). It was a bit too early for our weekend hangovers to stand, but luckily MTV's Stephen Totilo wrote an extensive account of the meeting. Here are the highlights aside from rumors of Dark Elf McMuffin ingestion:

• WoW is not coming to consoles.
• But if a Blizzard title were to come to consoles, Blizzard would manage it.
• Actiblizzard will have 15% of worldwide gaming market and 6000 employees.
• Blizzard announced their revenue for the year: $1.1 billion. Reports suggest that upon the announcement, Activision quickly moved a nearby file over their crotch.
