PSX Extreme writes: "Say what you want about 50 Cent, but you can't deny that he's here to stay. While not the first rap artist to be featured in a game, he may be the first to actually get some noteworthy sales from it. Years back we saw 50 Cent: Bulletproof, a not-so great action title that was far too generic to gain any sort of critical appeal. Now, three years later, 50 Cent and G-Unit are returning for an all new adventure, but this time in the middle east.
The story goes something like this: 50 and co. just played a gig in this war-torn country. Despite a sold-out show and an elated crowd, the promoter who schedules G-Unit to play refuses to pay 50 and his boys. The promoter claims that a drug lord, named Kamal, stole the box of receipts and he has no way to pay them. The gang threatens the promoter, and in exchange he offers them a skull encrusted with diamonds. When attempting to journey back home, G-Unit are ambushed and the skull is taken from them. Livid, 50 Cent and the rest of G-Unit vow revenge..."
Most licensed games tend to be below average, but every now and then, developers produce a game based on an existing license that is actually good.
EA back in the early PS2/Xbox/GC-era actually put out some pretty good licensed games, notably 007 Nightfire , 007 Everything or Nothing and some of their Lord of The Rings games.
I enjoyed "The Great Escape" game on the PS2. Also "The Thing" on PS2 wasnt to bad. Unfortunately it was to hard at the time when I was younger.
6th gen in general was a really good gen for licensed games, so many surprising gems from that time
Peter Jackson's King Kong.
Avatar: The game
X-Men Origins: Wolverine.
And love it or hate it, Enter The Matrix really scratched the itch for Matrix games as well.
COGconnected: Some sequels come as a result of the artists behind it truly believing an IP deserves a second chance, could be improved with just a few small tweaks, or is indeed good enough to warrant a sequel. These ones do not.
Loads of people asked for a sequel to Knack, including myself.
The first game was good fun, clearly rushed for launch, but a good launch title for PS4.
The great dunk spoke, and knack 2 was goty before it even dropped. Spaghetti. Meatballs. Puerto Rico.
Knack 2 and Kane and Lynch 2 were so good
Cool article though aha mostly all true.
Still waiting for Kanye and Lynch 3 to solve that insane cliffhanger ending
I will always want more Naughty Bear. Those games are like bad SyFy movies, just so awful but so fun.
Knack 1-2 was Fantastic...,.... hope Knack 3 being developed.
Can't wait for Ratchet and clank 2
Ps4
Here are the seven Xbox 360 games that still need to be backwards compatible with the Xbox One, including one last Call of Duty title and a hip hop artist that needs to find his skull.
GRAW2 and Ninja Gaiden 2 and I’ll be set. I’m a little bitter though you can’t buy Splinter Cell Blacklist digitally, I certainly would have bought a new copy to play, I don’t have my disc anymore and I’ll never own another game on disc. Same thing happened with Red River, not sure why it happens but it is disappointing.
Would love Dishonored 1 and the Batman Arkham games on BC, the remastered versions of those games is hot garbage.
Do people actually play 360 games on the xb1 or do they kinda toy around for a while to check out the improvements? Im curious because i cant stand last gen games
I bought the Xbox one X because of the backwards compatibility. Last gen games look amazing, Gears, Red dead look incredible in 4K. Still some of the best games were on last gen.
Infinite Undiscovery is the only one I'm waiting on, I replayed Blue Dragon when it hit BC.
Didn't this game get cancelled along with ghost busters?
I hope it includes ja rule, game & fat joe as bosses
GGGGGGG-GEE_U_NOT!
Ghostbusters is not, and never has been canceled it just doesn't have a publisher right now.
I'll most likely rent it unless the gameplay is actually good. The music is what will probably pull me in.
50 cent sucks
he has no rhymes at all
