Rumblings around the internet are now indicating that 50 Cent: Blood on the Sand is the latest game to get the axe as a result of Activision Blizzard’s purchase of Sierra. This was of course the sequel to the atrocious, yet successful 50 Cent: Bulletproof, which would have had ol’ Fiddy traveling to the Middle East for some hackneyed reason. The sequel actually looked like it was shaping up to be a very different affair from its predecessor, but Activision probably realized that the stench of the first game — which has been listed on numerous “Worst Games of All Time” lists — wouldn’t wash off easy. And still no word on the fate of the Ghostbusters game, which is probably the main project from Sierra that most people are curious about.
UPDATE: Aaaaaand, rumor squashed. Apparently the game is close to being finished and is still set to be released this winter. Damn you, internet rumor mill!

On another note…I sent a news tip, one was used, then accidentally sent a bad one, then sent a recent one. I wonder what happened to it….

Wow, this is…old news. All the games that were axed from Activision-Blizzard survived the cut. Including ol’ Fiddy here.
