The game looks pretty good and I'm a sucker for games that have hilarious, over the top stories. It doesn't hurt that it also happens to be from the same developer that made Cold Winter, so it can't be entirely awful. I'll probably pick it up when it's closer to thirty bucks.
Hopefully it sells like shit(probably wont) and he just becomes a face of Saints Row 3, sort of like Tera Patrick was.

that was my idea when it went under. saints row + 50 cent = buys

Shit, nicca, what about Ghostbusters?

I love the swear filter changing the n-word to nicca. :-*

Shit, distinguished black fellow, what about Ghostbusters?
Apparently Atari is going to pick it up, so expect it to tank horribly due to awful marketing. I was kinda hoping EA to pick them up along with brutal legend.
It's all hearsay until I fucking hear it. nicca.

Really reminds me of Stranglehold for some reason.

It's pretty damning when this game looks to be better than GTAIV
Technically speaking, the visuals ARE pretty solid. I highly doubt the maps are anywhere near as large as what you saw in GTAIV, though, as this IS UE3.

I would just like to take this opportunity to give a shout-out to Cold Winter, easily one of the best console FPS's of last-gen.

I'm still waiting for The Game: The Game

I'm just saying that this is probably going to be the Stranglehold to Gears of War's Max Payne.

Day 1. Looks great, tbh.

I think I want this because I wish I was black. This game will help me embrace my inner African penis.

This game is going to be amazing.

I respect 50 Cent more as a video game character than as a rapper.

There should be an EMINEM game:
1) Do a palette swap on fiddy-cent's main character
2) Put in better music.
3) PROFIT.
