Drake to play Jace Stratton in “Gears of War”

The fastest rising superstar in today’s hip-hop music scene is teaming up with Microsoft Game Studios and Epic Games to lend his voice to the biggest blockbuster game of 2011, “Gears of War 3,” only on Xbox 360. Set to release his much-anticipated debut album, “Thank Me Later,” on June 15, Grammy-nominated recording artist Drake is voicing Jace Stratton, a new playable character in the upcoming finale to one of the most celebrated sagas in video games.

In the finale to one of gaming’s most recognizable sagas, Epic has added four player cooperative campaign gameplay, allowing them to bring characters from the extended “Gears” universe to life.

“Jace is a central character in the comic books, so he was an obvious choice as a character we wanted to bring into the third game,” said Epic Executive Producer Rod Fergusson. “When we began casting for the role, ‘So Far Gone’ had just released, and Drake’s combination of heart and grit was just what we were looking for. Rather than search for somebody who sounded like him, it was clear that we should approach him directly… fortunately he turned out to be a huge fan.”

“When Epic came to me with the role, I couldn’t pass it up,” said Drake. “They’ve created an amazing character in Jace, and I’m looking forward to my tour in Delta Squad.”

Developed by acclaimed studio Epic Games and published by Microsoft Game Studios, “Gears of War 3” launches worldwide in April 2011, only on Xbox 360. The “Gears of War” series is one of the most popular franchises in Xbox history, having sold more than 12 million copies worldwide, and spawning New York Times best-selling novels, an upcoming film and more.

From 1 mixtape to Grammy’s to Sprite and now video games. I see you..

‘Geezer Bandit’ strikes again!!!

I know I don’t usually post things on the local section on the website, but this story in particular I had to post about.  Since last summer banks have been getting robbed by an elderly man.  Just today he robbed his ninth bank (Bank of America to be exact) in the Santee area (or Clantee some people would call it).  Supposedly the FBI are on the hunt for the old geezer hence the name “Geezer Banit”.  Now theres a $16,000 reward  of his capture, but come on its a recession put some more money up and I bet people will try to find him.  If you are really foolish to think about running up on him, think twice, because he’s rumored to be armed with a revolver.

Pill & Plies Beef?

Apparently so, as pill is “expressing” himself via twitter about the “Goon Affiliated” rapper. We’ll see if Plies responds but Pill will definitely get em’ on wax.
