![]() ![]() The game was a weird mixture of GTA due to the presence of the criminal element and Resident Evil 4 since it mirrored RE4’s gameplay mechanics and over-the-shoulder camera and shooting style. It was also reworked into a G Unit Edition for the PlayStation Portable - Sony’s discontinued handheld console - which preserved the narrative and cut scenes but eschewed a top-down, isometric viewpoint. ![]() ![]() In this article, we’ll examine the commercial flop that was 50 Cent’s own Blood on the Sand and where the otherwise praised game went horribly wrong.ĥ0 Cent’s gaming career actually kicked off with 2005’s 50 Cent: Bulletproof, an action video game developed by Genuine Games and published by Vivendi Entertainment for PlayStation 2 and Xbox. Now, while TCOR: Escape from Butcher Bay was based on the Riddick franchise, and there were plenty of movie-based adaptations, like the horrible 2007 title aptly-named, Transformers: The Game, most of the celebrity-revolving games weren’t actually based on movie IPs - including Bruce Willis’ Apocalypse, Vin Diesel’s Wheelman, and 50 Cent‘s Blood on the Sand. But what’s more interesting is gaming adaptations revolving around celebrities - a trend that gave us 2004’s The Chronicles of Riddick: Escape from Butcher Bay and the previously mentioned Def Jam games. The early- to mid-2000s were an interesting time for the gaming industry and community since there were still hundreds of licensed television shows and cinema IPs flooding the market that just begged to be adapted into video games by companies such as Activision or Sierra Entertainment. ![]()
