There’s something about 50 Cent: Blood on the Sand that gets me revved. I’m not sure if it’s the new cover system, the gritty dialogue, the violence, or the fact it’s the first game that’ll allow players to play as 50 Cent while utilizing a turret. Perhaps it has something to do with 50 finding the time to visit strip clubs as his world crumbles before his eyes.

As you can see from the screens above, 50 is back, and the experience is quite different than the previous title, Bulletproof. We have a new trailer available after the break, but you have to be over 18 to view it because of the exploding body parts and practically naked women dancing around under playful purple and pink strobe lights.

In addition to the wicked action being displayed, we’ve the semblance of a storyline being displayed. A mean looking guy has stolen something from 50 and it’s his job to get it back. You can join 50’s fight when the game hits retail at some point this January on the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360.

In case you hadn’t checked the Community Games channel lately, it has totally blown up since the New Xbox Experience debuted last week.

A handful of the titles showing up are exceptional, like Artoon, but a good percentage of the games are utter crap — actually, that might be giving too much credit. But like I’ve stressed in the past, the few good games available make up for all the bad.

That’s why it’s so important everyone gets a fair shot at sharing their creation through the service. Microsoft seems to concur with this viewpoint, as its announced that starting on December 15, designers from Singapore, Australia, and New Zealand will be able to do just that.

This announcement may or may not have to do with the fact that Gambit, the team who won 2008’s Dream-Build-Play competition with CarneyVale: Showtime, hail from Singapore. Way to show ‘em how it’s done, guys!

If you’ve gazed upon it, there’s little chance you’ve forgotten the fantastic press kit/retro packaging Capcom put together for Mega Man 9. Now, they’re doing the same for Super Street Fighter II Turbo HD Remix, which launches on PlayStation Network and Xbox LIVE this week.

The results are equally as incredible as the treatment the Blue Bomber got earlier in the year — retro packaging stuffed with: Ryu’s headband; a rare Chun-Li figure; an E. Honda stage/character magnet set; a Street Fighter Remix comic book; and an asset disc crammed with high-resolution artwork and screenshots.

What’s the deal with Microsoft’s game consoles and the junky disc drives? Don’t get me started on the one for the original Xbox. The drive in the Xbox 360 is an improvement, but it still has issues, the worst being how vibrations to your console can scratch your discs.

Apparently RDC from the benheck.com forum also hates the Xbox 360 disc drive. He went through the trouble of gutting the original DVD-ROM drive, taking all of the parts and putting them into the casing of an old iMac’s slot loader. The result is a Xbox 360 that has a slot-loading DVD drive. I don’t know if it repairs the vibration problem or not, and I’d hope that this new drive is a bit less noisy, but this is still a cool mod.
