Update: Infinity Ward tells us that 50 Cent is “one of many squad voices” that will be featured in the multiplayer and Spec Ops modes in Modern Warfare 2. Expect to hear Fifty saying things like”Reloading,” “Watch your fire,” “I’m down, get me up!” and “Tango Down!” according to Bowling.
“He is one of quite a few casual cameos in the game, none of which I can name at this point,” Bowling says. “Benji and Joel of Good Charlotte NOT being one of them. They’re just good friends with Curtis and came along with him when he was here recently to check out his voice in the game.”

The publisher also has plans for PC and Mac versions of Star Wars: The Force Unleashed planned for later this year.
We’ve come into possession of a draft screenplay for the Gears of War movie. If you’d like to remain spoiler-free, move right along. If, however, you’d like to see what we think of it, read on!
While the movie will be based on a script by Chris Morgan, it appears that Stuart Beattie – who worked on the Pirates films, as well as the in-limbo Halo flick – penned a draft as well.

Sometimes, a developer or publisher chooses not to release a game on the PS3 for manpower or technical reasons (see: Valve). Other times, though – as is the case with Splinter Cell: Conviction – it’s just down to money.
