Ladies and Gentlemen, there is no longer any excuse not to pick up the upcoming Call of Duty title, Modern Warfare 2.  Even though we were a little disappointed to hear the co-op would be two players in a separate mode called Special Forces, this announcement totally makes up for it.  Are you ready?  

News has broken that 50 Cent, of Blood on the Sand fame, will be lending his vocal talents and possibly likeness to the aforementioned Special Forces mode.  It's unclear as to whether 50 will be supplying a major character or if he'll be lost in the pack.  We can only hope Infinity Ward let him write his own lines.

Sometimes I'm amazed at my OG style.  Growing up in the suburbs of a small Pennsylvania city was tough living.  Soccer mom's, math homework, and games on the dodge ball court filled my days in the b-hood - that's short for neighborhood for all you city folk.  But at the end of the day I could always retreat inside, fire up by Sony boombox, and throw in tape of Dr Dre's "The Chronic" or Snoop Dogg's "Doggy Style."  I'm an OG at my core, but I don't need to be one to head back into the Middle East with 50 Cent: Blood on the Sand.

 50 Cent: Blood on the Sand was one of those games a lot of folks overlooked, not because it didn't look fun, but because it may have just been too much for the money.  Thankfully Amazon comes to the rescue - today only - they have the Xbox 360 version of the game for $39.98! 

If you don't believe us when we say the game is good, perhaps you need to read our review.  Seriously, you need to go help Fitty get his diamond encrusted skull back, the world depends on it.  So do his sales numbers.

Thanks for phrozenfearz for the tip!

Despite strong reviews, it appears one of two things may have happened with the latest 50 Cent title to bring on disappointing sales.  

The first thing is the game fell into the shadow of it's predecessor, and game that while selling over a million copies, failed to impress reviewers.  The second issue might be that 50 Cent isn't quite as popular as he once was, and even though the name is recognizable, many gamers scoffed at the idea of picking up a game starring him as the hero.

We've been talking about it for months, but now we finally weigh in on 50 Cent: Blood on the Sand. Is it as much fun as we hoped? How well does Fitty and the G-Unit play together in Co-Op? Will Fitty get his skull back? Find out in our review!

CONTEST:  We are giving away a PlayStation 3 copy of the game.  Simply leave a comment on the review to enter.  Winner will be drawn this Friday, March 20th.

50 Cent: Blood on the Sand hit retailers this week sporting a fancy 2 player co-op option. We sat down with Julian Widdows, Game Director from Swordfish Studios, to talk about the game and what it offers.

50 Cent seems to be worth a lot more than his name suggests. After all he's dabbled in everything from rap and Hip-hop music, to books, to movies, and to our pleasant surprise, co-op video games. Now, he's taking on the project of...Video game movies?

You read that correctly, as 50 Cent has discussed with an ensemble of reporters in a conference call, that he hoped to adapt THQ's Saints Row to the big screen. So far, he's only mentioned producing the film, but perhaps his involvement will be much deeper. After impressing us with Blood in the Sand, it'll be interesting to see what happens next!

What cleaning product is needed to take blood out of sand?  Perhaps 50 Cent knows, or at least, he better know because he's going to be spilling a lot of it in his upcoming 2 player co-op shooter for the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3.

50 Cent: Blood on the Sand hits both platforms today.  Amazon has the Xbox 360 version on sale right now for $49.99 - so you might want to take advantage of that.  I know I've been pleasantly surprised with what I've seen from this.

Articles about 50 Cent: Blood on the Sand.

Video game taunts are something we generally enjoy; what better way to take someone down, than to make them cry.  Army of Two showed how much fun co-op taunting can be.  50 Cent has a rather, er, colorful list of taunts to use in his upcoming game Blood on the Sand. It was no real shock to us when every line had a swear word or some other form of vulgarity. Now we can spend hours hitting the taunt button to hear “Try to climb me b****, now climb this!”

Pro tip: Turn the volume way up for that easily offended neighbor.  Repeat these during co-op sessions for maximum enjoyment with a friend!

Take a look at the complete list of taunts, but be warned; it's somewhat difficult to pronounce *, so use your imagination. (Contains almost-swearing)

When you're in a war it's good to be friends with 50 Cent.  Taking nine bullets and surviving doesn't happen everyday - so it's probably a good idea to stick close to Curtis.  Perhaps this is why the latest co-op trailer shows lots of Fitty's friends blowing the crap out of everything with the rapper by their side.  DJ Whoo Kid, Tony Yayo, Lloyd Ranks, and others make an appearance.  Don't know those names?  Neither do we, but that doesn't mean we can't wait to be them in the game's two player co-op mode!

Like we've said after the previous trailer we posted, this game just keeps looking better and better!
