Drake and Lil Wayne came to Queens this week as part of a tour the rappers are co-headlining. It was the third such act to pass through the Tri-State area recently, the first two being Beyonce and Jay Z's "On The Run" and Eminem and Rhianna's "Monster" tour. But this one was special. It was modeled off Street Fighter.
One of my earliest memories of videogames is also one of the last clear memories I have of my aunt, my father's sister, Donna. It was cold out, but not quite the holidays. We were sitting on the shag carpet in my grandparents' house, where she lived, playing Smurf: Rescue in Gargamel's Castle. The ColecoVision was…
Is L.A. Noire—despite its running, gunning and vehicular cruising—essentially an elaboration on the point-and-click adventure game? Some critics and commenators have suggested that the title has more in common with Monkey Island than Grand Theft Auto IV, with the crucial difference being that L.A. Noire (unlike the…
Bizarre Creations third-person 2008 shooter from Sega was no blockbuster, so why does it keep coming up in conversation?
Better reviews don't seem to be helping 50 Cent's newest video game.
Rogue Warrior seems to be tapping into a feature-set perfected by 50 Cent: Blood on the Sand: Profanity.
That is, if you live in New York City. And if you do, lucky you.
With his new game hitting store shelves today, Kotaku caught up with rapper 50 Cent to chat about Blood on the Sand's silly premise, music sales, and his future plans in the game industry.
So I was watching this new trailer for 50 Cent Blood on the Sand and suddenly realized that the entire game is about one rapper's fight for his gone-missing, jewel-encrusted skull.
The video takes us through most if not all of the gameplay mechanics for the new 50 Cent game, covering weapons, vehicle combat, online multiplayer, and close-combat kills. What it doesn't do is justify the existence of a video game in which a drug dealer turned raper and his posse take on the population of a small…
While stuck in the Middle East on a murderous rampage in pursuit of his crystal skull, 50 Cent will meet countless locals. And, once met, he shall regale them with pleasantries and compliments.
We know. You're sitting there, all smug, thinking the extent of 50 Cent: Blood on the Sand's story amounts to "WHEH MAH SKULL?". Well, you're wrong. There's a rich tapestry at play here.
Isn't he supposed to be Bulletproof? A fresh new video and screens from THQ's 50 Cent: Blood on the Sand show off the game's cover system, which involves Fiddy shouting expletives between firing weapons.
G-Unit's Lloyd Banks and Tony Yayo, like group mate 50 Cent, aren't your traditional celebrity turned video game character. They actually play the games they're in. And they know who Sephiroth is.
Hey, you. You any good at Gears of War? Or Uncharted? Fancy a shot at embarrassing a millionaire rap superstar? 50 Cent just gave you your shot.
Click to view "Wheh Ma Skull!". Funny the first time you hear it, funny the next 17 times you hear it. Honestly, not only does this game look hilarious (bravo Swordfish for taking the low, tongue-in-cheek road on the concept), but it looks decent. Like Gears of War, with baseball caps. But with less Locust. And more…
Click to view And yes. It even starts with "In A World...". We're super-glad THQ had the sense to dust this one off, as Swordfish have gone about this in the right way. That way being to ditch the gangsta slant and go over-the-top of OTT.
No, 50 Cent: Blood On The Sand isn't dead, dead, dead. It's alive! The game, orphaned by Activision Blizzard, has indeed been picked up by publisher THQ, according to a rating by Australia's Office of Film and Literature Classification board. That's the part we did get right when we reexamined 50's fate. Honestly,…
Remember 50 Cent II, the sequel to discography-cum-video game 50-Cent: Bulletproof? The game that Sierra named 50-Cent: Blood on the Sand? The one that has a love-interest, slick graphics and tons of blood? Yeah, it's dead. Caught in the unflinching cogs of big video game business, mergers, and close downs, we hear.…
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.
