50 Cent: Blood on the Sand-Most Disturbing Game In History

Posted By Liz Johansen on Apr 1, 2008

Summary : 50 Cent’s new game Blood on the Sand is described as “intense high body count gunplay”. I have to say, this does not sound very appealing to me.  

50 Cent’s new game Blood on the Sand is described as “intense high body count gunplay”. I have to say, this does not sound very appealing to me.

Apparently, we live in a world where, if you’ve been shot (or tell people you’ve been shot) more than once, you get a free ticket to a rap career and wait! There’s more! Your own gangsta video game! This is taken directly off of the website for the game:

“50 Cent and G Unit have just played to a sold-out crowd in a war-torn country. But when 50 tries to collect from the shifty promoter, he’s told that a local drug lord named Kamal has f**ked him over and stolen the box office receipts. 50 is ready to take his wrath out on the promoter, who begs for his life and convinces him there’s a way to get his money back and get revenge on Kamal. With YOU playing as one of the world’s biggest Hip-Hop star, cue an all out battle across two countries to collect a payday and payback on those who have crossed 50 Cent!”

Does anyone else have a little throwup in their mouth? This is the worst thing I have ever read on the internet! And you know the internet, so that is saying something. Here comes one hell of a rant.

There are many things that come to my mind when reading this disgusting excuse for a game overview. First of all, I think war torn country, I think poverty, I think, people dying. I don’t think, people paying 200 bucks a seat to hear some guy “singing” about killing and raping people. But that’s just me. The people of war torn countries have more important things to worry about, like finding food and water and avoiding the bombs being dropped on them. I also doubt this “artist” would be caught dead near any war torn country; they probably wouldn’t have luxury suites for you to stay in there, pal!

Second of all, since when is it o.k. for one’s name to be a number? I love how the description calls him “50”. I’m thinking, what? 50…grapes? 50….lollipops? It’s a number!! Not a name!! And I know people have been naming their kids weird things lately, like Apple and Talula, but for goodness sakes, not a number!

Third of all, it makes me very uneasy that the “shifty promoter” has to beg for his life. Is this harmless video game insinuating that this megastar rapper is (gasp!) a murderer? I think…yes. It’s so bizarre that he would be all right with that, since the game is portraying him and all, but I suppose since it fits his “super-bad, gangsta image”, Mr. Number for a Name is pleased. 

Fourth of all, I think there is a better reason to start a “battle across two countries” than one unpaid show. They are a poor country anyways!! And doesn’t this guy have like a gazillion dollars anyways?!?! If anything, he should be giving them money to support their hospital system. I am sure it’s not doing very well considering its war torn and all. Man, if this was happening in real life can you imagine how ticked off I’d be?

It really just seems to be supporting rudeness is all. I sentence 50 Cent to make his next video game about donating to war torn countries. How’s that for a video game, eh? I know I would finish the game feeling really amazing about my positive contribution to the world. Not thrilled that I started a world wide gang war to earn a few grand when I probably have about a gazillion in the vault in my solid gold mansion.

As you can see, the whole premise really rubs me the wrong way. I can’t believe I just stumbled upon this; that I haven’t even heard any outcries about this disgusting premise for this so-called game.

All I know is that if aliens come to Earth in thousands of years and find this game, they are going to think that humans were sick freaks with absolutely no morality whatsoever. And that’s not really how I want to be remembered, do you?

One last thing: when did it become acceptable for anyone to just make a video game? This guy is apparently an “artist”. I’m confused…is he an artist of video games? I think not. He just plasters his name and picture on a box and earns a few mils. What a way to make a living, eh? Ruining the human race one video game at a time. Happy playing…
