Gamma Testing

Unlike the largely derided Bulletproof  (bullet-absorbent?), Mr. Cent's first video game outing, Blood on the Sand is more fun than it has any right to be. Which seems to say a lot about the appeal bigger-than-life hip hop stars hold for middle class white boys interested in living out violent adolescent fantasies Like us. It also says a lot for taking a tried and true third-person shooter engine and wrapping it in an absurdly hilarious "plot" instead of spending a lot of time trying to innovate.

And unlike seemingly all the other video game reviewers out there, we don't ever feel the need to apologize for liking Blood on the Sand.
