Vivendi Universal Games announced a deal with hip-hop superstar 50 Cent to collaborate in the creation of a new video game that will hit retail shelves in late 2005. 50 Cent: Bulletproof, in which 50 Cent will star and provide his likeness and voice, will be unveiled at the Electronic Entertainment Expo in Los Angeles on May 18th, 2005.

It's a fantasy version of my life. I plan to shake up the video game world like I did the rap world - I'm pulling no punches with my game..." said 50 Cent.
In 50 Cent's video game, Fitty gets caught in a web of corruption, double-crosses and shady deals that lead him on a bloody path through New York's drug underworld. Working with the unlikeliest of allies, the streets heat up as 50 Cent takes on the most dangerous crime families in the city, uncovering an international conspiracy with devastating implications. The streets are watching as 50 Cent blasts his way to the truth.
Further blending the lines between Hollywood, music and games, Sopranos executive producer and Emmy-Award winner Terry Winter inked both the game's script as well as the screenplay for Fitty's forthcoming film, Get Rich or Die Tryin'.
