On the Fence - 50 Cent: Blood on the Sand



50 Cent: Blood on the Sand is out today for the 360 and PS3 as it is surprisingly a good game. Of course, better games are out this week like Killzone 2, but 50's new Gears ripoff is a great rental at best from what I seen. If anyone is buying this, please have no expectations and just have a fun time, which I think this game is basically mindless fun with G-Unit music blasting while shooting random fools in the face. In addition, it is best to play this game when parents are not around in the household because the swearing is off the charts like every 10 seconds or something like that (It is rated Mature for a reason). At least it is better than Bulletproof, 50's last attempt into the video game world, but don't expect top tier stuff as seen in previous third-person shooters. I may rent this at a later time for kicks and giggles.

Highlights from 2/22 Video 94 Tekken 6 BR Tournament

Last Sunday was the first Tekken 6 BR tournament at Video 94 and I showed up along with about 16 others (among them are hosts Cynnik, MYK, and Rip). Two from SDTekken showed up as well (Chris, who is a Nina player and Cody, who plays Ganryu). Even though the turnout could have been better, at least the tournament lasted four hours and it was indeed good times. I already did my shoutouts in the Tekken Zaibatsu thread about the tournament, so go there if u want to see that. The next tournament is next Saturday at Super Arcade as Kane will host and if I don't have plans that day, I might as well make an appearance and likely the turnout will be bigger. At least the SoCal Tekken scene is alive and kicking now as I'm willing to support it. Anyway, here are highlights from the top 5.


Rip (Law) vs. Cynnik (Raven) on Winners' bracket:


Calsonic (Xiaoyu) vs. Juggernaut (Eddy) on Losers' bracket:


MYK (Steve) vs. Suiken (Lei) on Grand Finals "So Much Damage indeed!!!"
