New 50 Cent Game out 1/20/09

Hmm. Not the greatest start for 2009 shooters. I’m surprised they’re even making another one of these games considering how horrid the first one was. Guess it goes to show that if you slap a celebrity’s image on the box of a game, it will sell.

Here is the info on this sure-to-be-craptastic game courtesy of Xbox.com:

50 Cent is back!

Play as 50 Cent, the world’s biggest hip-hop star, in this fast-paced action shooter! You and the G-Unit battle across two war-torn countries to collect your payday and exact your revenge on those who have crossed you in 50 Cent: Blood on the Sand.

• Heavy duty arsenal: Bring the heat with more than 20 high-powered realistic weapons.
• Online multiplayer: 50 never runs alone. Try the co-op online multiplayer mode with the G-Unit.
• New brutal counter-kill system: An all-new interactive counter-kill system gives you the control to finish off the enemy.
• Incredible music and sound: More than 40 tracks from “Fiddy” and G-Unit and 10 classic music videos are included.

Now being a fan of rock/metal music and quality games, I think I’ll pass on this one. No offense meant to any Fiddy fans we may have hanging around here.

*Update (Jan. 19): This game’s release appears to have been pushed back to the end of February.
