50 Cent: Blood On The Sand Review - 2009's GOTY 

"yo 50 jump over that big ass ramp" is the most influential line in gaming history

"A ludicrous third person shooter..." I think you mean 50 cent third person shooter silly.

The sequel to Spec Ops: The Line went in a funny direction.

More games should be about you getting back your skull.

There should’ve been a Candy Shop level

The man turned to his kid for advice on his game when developing it. I always thought that was so wholesome.

To be fair if I saw a game with "where's my skull bitch?" in the title I would buy it immediately.

50 Cent and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull

This game was dope! Fun fact: Helicopters were only added to the game because 50 cent's 7 year old son liked helicopters and asked for them when he was playing a pre-release version of the game, so the developers had to shove them in somewhere or risk the ire of 50

Fun fact 50 Cent is actually a fan of Saints Row and wanted to make a movie based on the first two games.

One of my best friends in high school loved 50 cent like it was all he listened to which annoyed me at the time because I was a die hard metal head. I remember getting this game for him for his birthday and we stayed up all night at his house drinking Dew and playing through it and 50 didn't annoy me so bad after. Good memories.

Daily reminder that games made in the early 2000's are very close to being considered retro-gaming.

50 cent is my favorite CIA backed federal psyop

This game is like a satire movie that people would be occasionally watching in a satire movie.

50 Cent shrugging off all the damage taken makes sense considering his In Da Club music video

It would be nice if more of 2000's underrated shooter (fps,tps) games getting a chance to be available on steam. like Scarface The World Is Yours, Stranglehold, Timesplitters, Black, The Suffering, Soldier Of Fortune, etc.

"Salt and Vinegar master race" how can one man be so based

This should just be called "50 Cent: Feed My Ego".

The Cole Train's origin story.

Last time I was this early 50 Cent had a number one hit.

Gears of War: Ghetto Edition

This game was surprisingly decent and wayy better than Bulletproof. I was a huge G Unit fan back in the day, brings back so many memories.

God Hand 3/10 IGN, never forget. Play things you like instead of basing your judgment on what others find of a game. You'll find your personal hidden gems.

So we're playing as an extremely rich man, who wears two hats for some reason, destabilizes developing countries to steal all their riches for himself, to maybe buy a fur coat emblazoned with diamonds so he can wear it on stage and sing about how great he is. Also I love how 50 Cent acts towards, and treats his allies like shit and then later be surprised that they betray him. And whenever you corner a villain they somehow run off and get into an offscreen attack chopper.

You did this whole f****** video for that "G-Man lives-unit" joke

"It's kinda like trying to kill someone by farting on them"-I'm pretty sure I could make that work.

Bulletproof will always be one of my favorite ps2 games. The soundtrack, the executions, Eminem being a crooked detective and Dr Dre an arms dealer, the setting and the comically absurd plot was great. Just wish the controls were a bit smoother. They need to remaster it!

review bulletproof as well i loved both of these games growing up and remember my mom making me throw out all my g-unit stuff when she found the games and realized it was the same guy as the cd's she made me throw out years earlier xD

I always thought "50 Cent" was just how much they thought the game was worth...

7:19 Actually, you can earn extra pointa by trash talking your enemies in the Scarface game. It fills your "Balls Meter" I think it was called and you can use it to activate invincibility. Great game tho, you should try it, recently got a patch for the PC version.

They should remaster both and charge 25 cents for each one.

It looks exactly like the game you'll see a mid-level criminal pretending to play for three seconds in a bad hood film... before someone makes the mistake of telling him the "deal went bad"

It was actually was pretty fun. It came in 2009? Jesus H time is moving too fast.

The whole concept of this game used to seem so bizarre to me back in the day, that I thought it was one of those fake games they used to put into movies in the early 2000's. 2009 was wild.

7:17 You can raise your style meter in Devil May Cry by taunting your enemy.

2000s: rappers making video games 2020s: rappers running for President

Is Cold Winter on the table? That was also developed by Swordfish Studios.

Yeah, but it's no Revolution X starring Aerosmith.

I miss this era of gaming. So much random stuff that would get released with a decent publisher backing. I would be more than open to ridiculous stuff like this lol

Hope, you can review Saints Row series soon in the future.

Spec ops the line review. This is a must.

Too bad we never got an Eminem/Dr Dre themed version of this.

Fact: Cliff Bleszinski was so impressed by blood on the sand that he never could make a good game again.

Blood on the Sand drunken co-op on the 360(ran great) was legit the most fun I had last gen. Content like this is why I subscribed homie. Keep it up Gman!

I was JUST listening to Guns For Sale by 50 Cent.

Terrorists: "You won't get your skull, 50 cent. You will only. DIE. TRYING!" 50 cent: "But I will get my skull.. Or I'm a... Ima.... Die... Tryin'..."

Man you are really pumping out these reviews lately. No complaints, it's much appreciated to have consistency in these inconsistent times.

The fact 50 cent casually having grenades attached to his body Armor while performing is something else🤣🔥

You can thank 50 Cent's seven year old son for the shitty helicopter fights. When he played a pre-release version of the game, he enjoyed it but complained that there weren't any helicopters. The devs tried explaining that it wouldn't work in a third person shooter, but the kid demanded helicopters, so 50 made them put helicopters in the game.

Oddly enough I played this on the 360 earlier this year while I was clearing out my backlog. I can confirm that some of the performance and graphic problems persist but never had it crash my system and the G-unit AI never had them standing around while I yelled at them to open a door with me. I think they were also more active in combat especially on the driving sections.

It's neat how the rockets have a large smoke trail and are just slow enough to be dodged at the last second.

"50 Cent: Blood on the Sand made you really feel like 50 Cent"

I was laughing through the entire video. Where's my skull

I've always had a soft spot for this game. I miss the simple action titles of the mid-to-late 2000's, where things are over-the-top and crazy, while crossing the line between silly and edgy.

I did not know that I was waiting for you to drop this. Thanks.

I might be shrooming rn, but this is one the best vids you've done mate. You're a legend.

That user interface tho...all those icons and numbers take up 70% of the screen lol.

yo these graphics are actually pretty sick for 2009 lmao

I loved this game back in the day. I still remember the Jeff Gerstmann review for Giantbomb, that was one of their best video reviews.

This is really one of the better review channels. There's actual critique, not just giving a play-by-play of what happens in the game. Good stuff

*Cover "50 Cent: Bulletproof" next. Nostalgia!*

U should review Dead To Rights: Retribtion. It's so awesome! I think you'd dig it

The fact that this game was published by THQ leaves some hope it may one day see a remaster, but the fact it uses a bunch of licensed music makes that hope feel like a bit of a stretch...

When you talked about the way the taunts work it really made me think of the way that you can increase or keep your rank up with taunts in Devil May Cry, great review as always man! 👌🏽

This was unexpected, but i like that he made a video on this game.

Y’all remember seeing 50 cent gameplay in a yt video named GTA5 gameplay in like 2011-12

Gman uploading on my birthday about a game I love, epic.

Dude, where's my skull?

This needs a remaster

Haha i used to love this game. Always wished they would have made another 50 cent game. It was really fun

I am having more and more watching your videos. Especially since you review lots of games, old and new. I am really curious to know your opinion on some older games, since you clearly played lots of stuff from every generation. Ever played Total Overdose or Advent Rising?

I own this game and love it. Had a great time playing it. Btw Gmanlives is a fantastic reviewer. Never had I had this much respect for a reviewer. Great content as always mate.

Idk if you've ever heard of "The Saboteur" but it was a pretty cool game back in the day and it would be bad ass if you reviewed it

I never thought I’d actually want this game but here we are

I don't know what made you review this, but I'm glad you did

I was looking for your DeadSpace review after watching this and from what I can find you haven't made one yet?? I'm surprised you haven't yet..

I remember watching Zero Punctuation's review around the time it came out. Obviously he spent the whole review complaining about the game (including oddly about the morality of it, something like "why are we celebrating people who abuse women" and whatnot iirc), but it's still a fun review.

I mean they they weren’t wrong time wise a lot of the marines were listening to 50 while rolling the down the road riddled with ieds in 105 degrees

This game was such an unexpected surprise back in 2009. Swordfish Studios previous game Cold Winter was pretty good as well.

Funny and stuff review, G. But, where's my skull?

I remember playing the ps2 50 cent game and loving the dumpster mechanics to the point that i would play the entire level carryng the thing if i could.

This game was actually really solid and fun for what it is.

No related to this video, but i gotta say your "after the dust settles" approach to recent AAA releases, is pretty cool man. Nice to have the delay while the fanbase and hype settles down, and its nice to know you take the time to actually play the games, it shows with your fleshed out reviews. Keep up the good work. Stick to the games, none of the BS.

Oh shit. I remember the preview and review of this game in a gaming tv show back in the day.

Bruh this gives me 25 to life vibes,I need to get this.

He really could have used that money, heard he's down to his last cent.

Knowing next to nothing about this game and hearing the GOTY talk, I thought this was an out of season April fools joke at first. They say don't judge a book by its cover.

Dude you should do a review of Urban Chaos Riot Response. Was always one of my favorite FPS games back on the PS2.

Can't wait for 50 to be revealed as the new smash character! Also I've been wanting to play this game for a while it's just never been at the top of my list so I hadn't bothered to get it

Next review Wheelman with Vin Diesel

I had 7 different ad breaks during this video. I wish RU-vid had an option to view them all up front.

Somehow I can see you riding down the road in a Ute with 'Get Rich or Die Trying' on repeat, blasting... and I like it

The whole beauty of this game is that it can actually be picked up for 50 cents

I thought you said "Ludacris" :(

Hi ggman keep up the good work. you should do a review for vampyr on Xbox one. The Legacy of kain series like blood omen 2 and dark on the Xbox 360 or obs cure on the original Xbox.

The ludicrous/ludacris bar was noticed

This shit was actually good, bulletproof too for the og xbox

Devil May Cry and Bayonetta both give points for trash talking your enemies.

That outro was incredible

This has to be one of my favorite video game reviews of all time!
