Hip-Hop Star 50 Cent Gets Game
Live the life of the rapper, if only for a while.
Whether you think he's an 'entertainment icon' or a loathsome ex-drug dealer, there's no denying that 50 Cent is one of the most successful stars around at the moment. So it's no surprise then that a game is being made starring the man, his voice and his likeness.
50 Cent: Bulletproof aims to provide a "fantasy version" of the already fantastical life of the hip-hop performer in a tale steeped in organised crime, drugs and far-reaching conspiracies.
Publisher VU Games has gone to the wellspring of current fictionalised mobster tales by bringing in Terry Winter - the Emmy Award-winning producer and writer of the critically acclaimed Sopranos TV series - to pen the game's script.
Gameplay specifics are unknown at the moment, but 50 Cent: Bulletproof is set to be on display at E3 in May.
