Some of us might know that Burger King was thinking about selling games back in April, well now they now!
They are going to start selling their own games for $4 with a Value Meal.

For one of the three games, this cover art is the worse:

That cover looks like something from the Something Awful forums.
I'm surprised they didn't do some sort of football game, given the popularity of those commercials.

I find the fact that each disc holds an XBox -and- a 360 version rather impressive. More publishers should do that. :)

I wished if Burger King wanted to make a game, have itbased off Breakfest Browl. The link to breakfest Browl is http://www.gtds.net/Breakfast-Brawl/. Burger king could have the opponents be the food from their menu like breakfest brawl had you go against breakfest foods that box and have special boxing moves.[/url]

Pics from "Sneak King" are making me crack up.
"Finally, Sneak King takes the stealth action genre and puts it to a friendlier use than usual. Instead of tiptoeing behind enemy guards to silently snap their necks, players will sneak up on hungry people to surprise them with offerings of Burger King food."

That chicken is from the night of the living slaughterhouse. Looks like it's feathers are from a pillow too.
Anyway, i'll probably be getting the one that allows you to sneak up on people and surprise them with food.
"Boy, why's my lunch being delayed, it's already 12:01..."
"Hey Buddy!"
"AAAH! Wha.. *nearly falls over*"
"Heres a burger and fries for ya! On the house!"
"Wow! Thanks!"
Heh, It sounds good.

GameSpot has updated the story yet again, and now the claim is that all the games will have achievements.
http://www.gamespot.com/news/6159158.html?tag=lastword;link
I'll buy the "stealth" one for the hell of it, despite not even owning a 360. I could just throw it in the 360 at work, since the managers would know no better.
Nothing says advertising like sneaking up behind people and making them eat your fatty foods.

Exactly. How many people on this forum, or any given forum, really have "rare" games like Cheetamen II or even a mint copy of Panzer Dragoon Saga?
In comparison, it is safe to assume nearly every member of the DP forums worth their salt will have these games, or at least try to get them, by the end of the year.
Truth is, you'll have most everybody here buying at least two or three copies of each game. One to play, one to keep sealed and one to sit on in case it goes up in value. There are people reading this right now who will drive all over the city to different Burger King stores trying to acquire 10-15 copies, or more.
When a game becomes rare, this sort of thing tends to happen after the fact. I don't think most people who bought Flintstones II believed it was going to be rare later on. People buying something like Action 52 wanted to play 52 games at once and thought the lousy box art and graphics may have been a joke but there weren't a lot of them sitting back thinking about production values or the number of copies out there, at least not back then.
Burger King will have to run this thing for awhile or print more games to keep up with the demand, if they want to keep a customer base happy. They are not interested in catering to collectors by keeping production values low. If they run out, they'll order (or produce) more copies of the games and keep them in there a little longer or make sure that most everybody who wants a game will get one. Meaning they kind of have to keep games on hand during the promotion, at all costs. They won't run out and it is safe to assume the market will be flooded with these things.
It will be a joke seeing threads or Ebay auctions two or three years from now with some yokel trying to get the equivalent of a rent payment off of one of these things.

@bangotango, that's an excellent summary of the situation. Exactly what I was thinking. Back in the day, people were players, not collectors and that's how rares happened. Now there are probably more collectors than players. You just don't get true rares when everyone is stocking up and when the companies are producing to meet that demand.

Normally I would agree with that logic. Games that claim to be EXCLUSIVE!!! RARE!!! this day and age are really not. (See Outlaw games from Blockbuster which sat on shelfs until they were liquidated.)
However.
These games are only going to be sold for appoximately 1 month. My guess is they have a set print run, and that's it. Just enough to run the promotion. By no means are these going to be an Action 52, or a NWC, but these will be uncommon and hard to find in good shape. My guess is that they will NOT be in DVD cases, but will be in paper sleeves. It's cheaper that way.
OMG SUPER RARE and is gonna be worth the monies? No.
Wow. that's 20 years old and it's pretty uncommon and hard to find in good shape? I think so.

I agree they are worth getting for a lot of reasons. There will be a lot of mangled copies of those games in 10-15 years.
However, more DP/Atari Age/Game FAQ, etc. members will have them than the typical game that is uncommon. Mostly due to the advance warning. Most everyone reading this thread will have them and nobody here is going to let their copies go to seed.

I invite anyone to point out a good number of fast food promotional kitsch from the past 15 years that is considered 'rare' or highly sought after. I'll be generous and welcome mention of anything from the past 20 years, even. Now even in the face of say, 5-10 different kinds of themed plastic crap that might pull some coin from collectors that are into it, we have thousands of other runs that are clogging thrifts, yard sales basements attics toy chests bookshelves rectal cavities junkyards, etc. etc.
I'm not talking about the Happy Meal displays or the restaurant posters and drive through placards that weren't intended for distribution to customers. I mean the kid toys, the little Christmas tree ornaments, the licensed glassware and collectible cups.
Consider that these are fast food restaurants, McDonalds said 'fuck it' at some point back and just had their signs vaguely say 'billions and billions served' instead of a concrete number. Burger King is no slouch by comparison.
Maybe I was mistaken, but how about the beniebaby's that came out? I heard they were gone in just a few days. Then there was small barbie dalls that came from McDonalds that I heard went rare due to collectors...
Besides I have a Sonic/Super Monkey Ball Happymeal box on some of my shelves. Inside you will find a plush Sonic doll 'Sonic Underground' from Denny's. Still sealed in the bag by the way.
And speaking of Denny's, I would still like to complete my set of baseball cards from back in the day. The hollogram ones that only came from Denny's.
Sorry to disagree with you Bratwurst, but I think your wrong....

Burger King would rather have enough games on hand for this promotion than deal with pissed off parents or bratty kids, who will still be the ones getting most of them. Enough said.
I do admit someone would have to be a fool to pass them up, though, based on the price alone.

Do you know anyone who collects Beeny Babies anymore? Seriously, do you? Aside from that, anyone ever have more than anictdotal evidence of those things actually being "worth" anything? I know I saw a ton of those things with crazy price tags, but I never saw anyone ever buy one.
The whole Beany Baby thing was a fad complete with artificial scarcity. Those things are starting to show up in thrifts just like all the other fast food premium crap.
The only people to whom any of that stuff has any value are the people who can't admit the gravy days of $100+ for a bean bag are long since past or who can't fess up to the retarted amounts of money they sank into a children's toy. Even the flea market people have moved on, and when that happens, you know the ride is over.

Sadly there's a company in Japan that has an entire series of these. They're put out by the same publisher that did the Battle Raper and Sexy Beach games. Disturbingly they're like full out games that involve you stalking someone to learn where they go during the day, etc.
Either way, Sneak King looks awesome because it's basically Manhunt only with Burger King instead of evisceration. I'll definitely be grabbing these, especially if they come in their own cases and everything.

well F all the rarity talk and crap, I am getting at least 1 copy of each game, even if I dont have a 360 (i still got my XB)!
And IF and ONLY IF they come in either large DVD style cases (even slim ones) or a still kool looking case w/ some sort of shrinkwrap will I get an extra copy.
Either way, these games are cheap, they are a landmark in XB and 360 gamemaking with 2 versions on 1 disk, and to a crazy ass like me, they look ridiculously fun (unless something like Sneak King is far to repetative)!

they should have made a beat 'em up game instead. a ramen company back in the day did a kickass beat 'em up game called "u.f.o. kamen yakisoban" to promote their produce. i think most people will try this BK game for curiousity sake, but find it lacking after the quirky value subsides. meanwhile, that ramen game is fun by itself, and most people don't even know that it was a playing advertisement.

Big Bumpin (the thread, that is).
Now that these games are out (and the board's back up), let's hear some of your impressions and reviews.
Not having a 360, I wasn't interested in these games at all until I learned that they were Xbox compatible as well. Now I want all 3, since, you know, four bucks for a game is four bucks for a game.
So I picked up Sneak King on Thursday since that seemed like the most original gaming premise of the lot. The gameplay is in fact somewhat repetitive, inasmuch of the game as I've completed. Also the camera is a bit of a hassle to control. Other than that, it's worth playing. It's a harder game than it sounds like, particularly when there are constraints on the missions like zero detection, etc. The challenge factor on these harder missions is what will keep me coming back to it.
The other thing that will keep me coming back to it for a while is just how absurd the whole thing looks. Somebody mentioned the game being a sort of "rape sim". I've got to admit, I thought similar things while playing in the cul-de-sac area when I found myself tiptoeing behind some woman walking around her backyard pool. Pretty messed up.
I'll pick up the other two probably in the next week. The BK's in my area seem to have plenty of all three titles still. I have the impression that they aren't moving as fast as one might think owing to a false impression that they're 360-only games. In fact it wasn't even until I was in the drive-thru and saw a sign explaining that they'd work with either system that I decided to pick one up.

I found Sneak King to be quite boring after the first level. Pocketbike Racers is alot of fun IMO....I haven't tried it online yet. And the bumper cars one is really a mixed bag....some of the games on it are great, but others are average. Definitely worth the price of admission on all games though. I hope they do more of this stuff in the future.

The game intro's are great! Yes I did pick up 2 copies of each, one to play and one to keep sealed, but I collect sealed xbox games. Sneak King is the funniest of the 3, but has the shortest game play. I think my favorite is Pocket Bike Racer.
