Today Burger King announced that in conjunction with Microsoft they will be offering three games for $3.99 with purchase of a value meal. These games will star the fast-food chain's mascot "The King" and will be released with what can only be described as the best video game names EVER!
"Pocket Bike Racer"
"Big Bumpin' "
and "Sneak King".
I know, I know.
"FINALLY" (pretty much what you're all thinking)
You've all been waiting for it and after years and years of setbacks and delays, it's finally here.
discussion of this momentous announcement after the jump.
We'll I hope you all enjoyed my sarcasm, cause' I was laying it on pretty thick. And if you didn't catch the sarcasm then you should probably enroll yourself in second grade again to learn how to put words together to form sentences.
So here's my take on it.
This is actually pretty awesome. (no sarcasm) The reason being is that;
1. Yes, these games are going to be horrible without equal
2. They are going to be cheap
3. They are going to star a fast food mascot and
4. You can pretty much bet that in 15 years these games are going to be remembered as one of the worst attempts at marketing AND video gaming at the same time.
And I will still own everyone of them.
There is just something about horrible, train-wreck, don't look now but that crippled guy just got hit by a bus, media that I love.. It's just so bad you have to love it.
I can wait till the next time I throw a party, and while all my friends sit down with beer in hand to enjoy some fine gaming, what comes on??? None other than SNEAK KING!! Of course, while they curse at me and throw things at me, I will attest to the fact that these games are the pinnacle of modern electronic entertainment and anyone who thinks different Is an ignorant ass.
I may start a cult dedicated to them and make everybody else drink the Kool-Aid before me.
Your Thoughts?

Their going to be in black and white, have .24 bit graphics, and a triple wopper will flash on the screen every two minutes.
Adver-games. Dumb as hell. I wouldn't buy this shit if you put a gun to my head!
you really are just paying the cost to manufacture here. Which means they make no money accept to sell a few extra value meals which, judging by my the average americans weight, they arent having any trouble with. It's not like they are doing "avoid the noid" and "cool spot" again (full price mascot games from long ago for those to young to know). Though coolspot was actually a decent game, at least the later isometric view one was.... god im old. Anyway, i bet these thing are probably more fun then any cell phone game you'll ever buy (baring DOOM of course which was alot of fun actually) and they cost about the same.
I actualy kind of admire them for not twisting Sneak King into some hybrid of words like Snee-King or something.
Their going to take Doom, take all the monster sprites out and replace them with McDonalds and Wendy logos for the enemys! LOL
Some people take it too seriously. No shit, they won't be the best graphics in the world. No shit, they probably took 3 days to develop the whole game. That's exactly why I'd buy it, for a laugh. Have you seen the King commercials lately? Does it seem like Burger King takes itself too seriously? No, it doesn't. So go buy the $4 game, and enjoy it damnit.
