This year looks to be a pretty busy year for gaming, with loads of sequels to big name franchises like: Metal Gear Solid 4, GTA4 and Fallout 3. These titles will be great, but which will win the Game of the Year for 2008? To find out, I dusted off the Official SarcasticGamer.com Crystal Ball™ and asked it what the GOTY 2008 was going to be. Inside its clouded interior, I found a hidden gem that I would not have expected…
The official SarcasticGamer.com Crystal Ball™ says that the Game of the Year for 2008 is:
50 Cent: Blood on the Sand
After his previous smash hit, 50 Cent: Bulletproof, the rapper is back, but this time, “it’s not going to be anything like the first game,” according to Aaron Blean, Producer on 50 Cent: Blood on the Sand. Now, I know what you’re thinking: the first game was a work of genius, a piece of veritable art. Why would they make the sequel different? Well I’m not sure, but rest assured, Vivendi doesn’t put out bad games.
Quite a lot is known about the game already, for starters, the story is pure gold. A writer from Hollywood has been hired to craft the game’s plot. This is lucky since all Hollywood writers are excellent, and no bad piece of writing has ever come out of there. Some information has leaked regarding the story and, let me tell you, Basically, the story involves 50 Cent and G-Unit putting on a sold out performance in the Middle East. Are you with me so far? Unfortunately though, the concert promoter doesn’t want to pay them. Oh Noes! So, because he ain’t gettin paid, 50 harasses the promoter. So gangsta! Finally, the promoter pays, but wait for it… He pays for it with a diamond encrusted skull. This is the bit I like about the game, the sense of realism. Wouldn’t you know it, something terrible happens: 50 Cent and G-Unit are ambushed and the skull is stolen, which leaves the rappers having to hunt down the ambushers, killing hundreds, perhaps thousands in the process. It’s going to be soooooooo cool.
To quote our good friend Aaron again, “We took the time; we invested in some really good tech.” Excellent, they’ve finally brought in some of that “good tech” instead of last game’s “Crap Tech.” You know? The stuff all good games have. Crysis used good tech, and that game has amazing graphics, so I have very high hopes for this Blood on Sand. There’s also the possibility of DLC, but only because the developers ‘have the proper tech to support that’. Phew! That’s lucky, you should be grateful to Aaron – he got this proper tech sorted out that will allow for DLC. He must know somebody at EA!
Based on the Official SarcasticGamer.com Crystal Ball™, which is going on sale soon for only half a diamond encrusted skull, I predict that 50 Cent: Blood on Sand will be GOTY for 2008, thanks to a couple of factors:
- It has a Hollyood Writer
- It’s got “good tech”
- The Official SarcasticGamer.com Crystal Ball™ says it will be GOTY.
Time to go to Vegas and place your bets.

Awesome! With the Bad Company boycott, I was afraid I wouldn’t have a good game to play while the boycott was in effect. Now I can rest easy knowing that 50 Cent has my back! Tha G-Unit won’t let me down. Who needs BF:BC or even COD4 when this games comes out? Watch out COD4, I think your days at the top of XBL are numbered!

Why would anyone want something with half a dollar man in it?

Rappers? In the Middle East? Fighting Terror? The only thing missing is Dubya …
Rhymes with Taco… I love tacos…

I got the story for the third installment in the series. Fitty feels his music is underappreciated and decides that an apporpriate reward for bringing his music to middle school “thugs” nationwide is to replace the current presidential images on Mount Rushmore with the G-Unit. However, before glory can be had, Fitty and his crew must fight through the entire secret service and convince President Bush (through a series of DDR-style button sequences) to change the monument. The 20 people that live in South Dakota will protest, but your trusty gat will slience them. Will you dare to embark on the journey to Mount Thugmore?

That’s just stupid - it’s way to far fetched. 50 Cent games are about realism.
7 50 cents // Apr 7, 2008 at 2:33 pm
LOL. You guys couldnt be any worser at predicting the game of the year.
Hit titles like LittleBigPlanet, Gears of War 2, MGS4, Killzone 2, Haze, Ninja Gaiden 2, Gran Trismo P, GTAIV; all have a better than that lame 50 cent game -.-

What Hollywood writer? the story of the game is abt gangster of IRaQ yeah thats right Iraq and 50 cent is gangsta there and looking for Golden Skull with dimond in its forehead. This a complete joke its not written by a writer he just patching things up its coming directly from 50 cent, the staff is making it more easy to digest.
For newcomers Guys and dont believe too much in the article of this site, they are for mockery so get used to it laugh bash and quit thats all.
