"I was looking forward to reviewing this game because I don't like hip-hop rap gangsta music or the attitude behind the whole urban ghetto thing and I figured this game would be a laugh to poke fun at. After all, games and 50 Cent don't really seem likely to mix well, and his last game, 50 Cent: Bulletproof, seemed to demonstrate that.
What I got was something that perplexed me.
Rarely have I felt so much in two minds or so surprised by a game as I was with this one...They have made a 3rd person shooter that borrows aspects from other shooters and throws out anything that gets in the way of exhilarating fun. How could a game with so many self-destructive qualities actually keep me so entertained?"

Thankfully, not many things happened in terms of big games. So we got to delve into the games we missed due to the unexpected leave of absence. Keep in mind, we recorded the day before ODST. So there is no Halo talk. Come back next week for an ODST special.
This week we discuss:
Batman: Arkham Asylum
Guitar Hero 5
50 Cent: Blood in the Sand (and how awesome it actually is)
Left 4 Dead 2 banned in Australia
Street Fighter 4 sequel?
Shadow Complex cheaters getting pwned by Microsoft
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 special edition 250GB Xbox 360 console
We should be back to our regularly scheduled programming now. We (Spiiike and Dogeyed) apologise for the lack of content. Tune in next week however for a chance to win...well something Halo related."

"Who is Blood on the Sand for? It's not enough to be a fan of shooters, much less a fan of 50 Cent. It's not even enough to be a fan of shooters and 50 Cent. Instead, you have to be a fan of shooters, 50 Cent, games that aren't very good, and games that only marginally have anything whatsoever to with 50 Cent beyond spending a lot of time staring at the back of his head and occasionally listening to his voice. If that describes you, Blood in the Sand is your kind of game. However, while I played through this pap and let my mind wander, wondering how much longer it was going to go on, I couldn't help but think that even you deserve better."
Wait till this gets put on sale, which it will in a few weeks time, to buy, or rent for a weekend jaunt into. If you do the latter, try and find two copies and play with a friend, it'll be exponentially more entertaining.
I thought the game would stink because of Fitty, luckily the gameplay saves the day.
at least it seems to be an improvement over the previous 50 Cent game...
that being said.... i wont be picking it up. I stopped caring about 50 cent once "In Da Club" died off, and that was essentially the beginning of him.
Not something im interested in.
-Nice review, reading helps pass the time haha.
Hmmm, not sure on this one, although the two minds thing is how I often think funnily enough, one for, one against . . loved it.
The game is like the Club mixed with the Bourne game....fun stuff but no RE5 or Gears Of War.
Forget the 50 Cent aspect...it's a good game without him and probably would have been better without him honestly....
With all the other great games that shall be available in the next month or so as well as those available now doesn't really interest me to pick this game up and give it a go...
