Title: IGN video review of the Burger King Xbox games

You know, the 3 games BK will release Sunday. $5 each when you buy a meal at the places. Minibike racing, bumper cars, and Splinter Cell with food or something.

Someone watch the review and tell me what it says. Do they look like $5 worth of fun?

PS, I hate video reviews with no text counterpart.

Apparently Pocket Bike Racing sucks, but Sneak King and Big Bumpin' are fair.  Big Bumpin is a decent party game similar to Fusion Frenzy.  Sneak King is supposedly funny.

Thanks. I'll probably get all 3 "just cuz", but at least 2 are worth playing with. I watched a Sneak King trailer on youtube, it looked hilarious.

For some reason I really enjoy the freaky king guy.  I don't know why, but he cracks me up.

When I was a kid and had my Atari, I remember I used to love a Burger King game. It was fantastic.

I think we've discussed this before.  It was called Burger Time and it wasn't affiliated with Burger King in any way.  It was also on the NES.

Some guy came dressed as the Burger King guy at a Halloween party I went to.  He even brought Burger King hamburgers and gave them out to people.  Haha.

I decided to check into this.  I too remember it being on the NES, but I wasn't so sure that it was not on the Atari.  Here are the platforms it was released on:


Off topic:  This talk about an arcade reminded me... I really want to build a MAME cabinet.  I mean come on, check out this site and tell me it doesn't look and sound awesome:

So I picked up the 3 games today. It was awesome, because the chick working the counter just sold them to me outright, no value meal purchase or anything.

I just spent a little time with them. None of them are really that great, but what do you expect for $4 at a fast food place?

Sneak King: Interesting, though I can see it getting old pretty quick. Still...the sneak animation on the King is hilarious.
Big Bumpin': Bumper cars. Singleplayer is kinda meh, but it looks like it'd be a fun party game.
Pocket Bike Racing: I need to read the manual...seems theres some Mario Kart-ish type weapons in there somewhere. Overall it does give a bit of a MK feel.

Hahaha Sneak King looks hilarious, if I had an Xbox I would try that one out.
