When you asked, what's Japanese about the game, I would say: 'All of it.' It comes right back to the first "Resident Evil" … what we were trying to create in that game is the same feeling we get in Japan of watching a Hollywood movie. It was a process of taking something from the West and finding something that reflects our experience.

-"Resident Evil 5" producer Jun Takeuchi in an interview with MTV Multiplayer after I flipped the expected question about Western influences on "RE5."

I interviewed 50 Cent at the G-Unit offices in Manhattan today to discuss his new game, "50 Cent: Blood on the Sand." I wrote about plenty of 50 Cent's gaming thoughts on MTVNews.com, where 50 talks about the game, what's being played on his tour bus and how he wants to make a "Saint's Row" movie. This clip here is 50 answering my question about what kind of game he'd like to make next. He wants to do a "Tetris"-style game. And then he gets to talking about that no-good "Pac-Man" cheater he sometimes raps with.
