At some point in January, 50 Cent: Blood on the Sand will be on retail shelves. In our most recent coverage of the title we were shown a basic glimpse of the storyline and gameplay. This trailer (accessible after the break for those over 18) expands what is known about the title by debuting the “Counter-Kill,” a term coined by the game’s publisher THQ.
The Counter-Kill appears to be a counter that kills enemies. It is the direct opposite of the “Counter-Tickle,” which may or may not be in Blood on the Sand.
One comes away with an impression of the game’s brutality when viewing the video. Counter-Kills are fast and brutal. The flow of the move (minus the weird comic book thing) is a lot like the hand-to-hand stuff in the Bourne movies, except 50 doesn’t need rolled-up magazines to dispose of his future victims. He only needs a knee or a particularly sharp knife.
