Hamburger flipper Burger King is considering a promotion that offers 3 exclusive BK-branded games. Each would feature their own characters (in this case, the actual Burger King) in “popular” genres (fighting, action and racing). The action game is apparently similar to Halo, while the fighter combines Street Fighter and Mortal Kombat. Just tack on a “with hamburgers,” and you get the drift.

Marketing research company Greenfield Online sent around a survey regarding the plan apparently and leaked some mock-up and concept images for the proposed campaign. Still in the conceptual stage apparently, the titles would go for US $4 and be compatible with both the original Xbox and the 360. This all makes sense as BK has already jumped into in-game advertising feet first.

Gotta get those games when they come out cause I think they might be rare in the future. Cant beat the $4 price tag.

I think those sound pretty funny and I would definitely pick them up. Have any of you ever played the Japanese PaRappa McDonald's demo?

i hope they will be hard copies. They should make a version where you scare people to death by standing at their windows when they wake up or by sneaking into thier bed. Ala "Haunting" for Genesis LOL

The article states they'll be compatible with both Xbox and 360, so I'm going to assume they're physical media. Also, it wouldn't be as useful for Burger King if you could just download the game; they're seeking to increase foot traffic, get more people into their stores, especially new customers. That's not going to happen if people who would usually never visit a BK aren''t forced to go there and pick up the game in person.
