Since he's your friend, you might want to try writing down all of the
things you have done, including the time it took, and show it too him.
Also write down what you know of that he did, and show him that in
comparison.  Maybe under that light, he would be more reasonable.
I'm on your side -- I don't think he should get 50%.  Under 20% seems 
more like it.

If he still doesn't agree, then tell him you will take your work, 
and redo the graphics that he did, and let him take his graphics and
try to recreate what /you/ did -- see who comes up with the better
game ... 8-)  In fact, I would imagine he won't even be able to 
create a game at all, if creating graphics is his only forte.  If
that's the case, giving him 50% when the game can still be
created without him, while the game cannot survive without you,
is obviously a scam.
