Rapper 50 Cent to Get Richer with New Video Game

Can a Tupac & Biggie Smalls shooting gallery be far behind??

"SAN FRANCISCO (Reuters) - Rapper 50 Cent likes to brag that he has been shot nine times and survived -- but it remains to be seen if he can survive getting shot in a video game over and over again.

The iconic rapper and game publisher Vivendi Universal Games on Friday said they have teamed up on a new game for the coming holiday season, "50 Cent: Bulletproof."

Written by "Sopranos" executive producer Terry Winter, the game puts the rapper in the role of a crusader taking on crime families in the New York underworld.

Winter also wrote the screenplay for 50 Cent's upcoming film "Get Rich or Die Tryin,"' named for his hit album.

VU Games is a unit of France's Vivendi Universal.
