50 Cent in Blood on the Sand

A bit presumptuous, we'd say, for a rapper to think he could star in two of his own video games and expect people to, you know, buy them. 50 Cent pulled it off, though -- particularly with this awesome follow-up to 2006's Bulletproof and its lessons in pixelated swagger.

The story isn't much more than chasing down enemies (sometimes with G-Unit if you choose mulitplayer mode) with whatever weapons 50 finds -- grenades, machine guns, bazookas -- but it all works super-well. And seriously, at what other time will you hear 50 shout the line, "That bitch took my skull!"
