Sneak King
Burger King Launches Branded Games for XBox The games are titled "Pocketbike Racer," a racing game; "Big Bumpin'," which features bumper cars; and "Sneak King," in which the player - as the King mascot - must surprise hungry characters with a BK sandwich.

BK Xbox/360 Games Street Today Part ad, part creepy stalking video games, the official Burger King games, Sneak King, Pocket Bike Racer and Big Bumpin', hit greasy burger joints nationwide today. I received the three games late last week, but was too busy with Wii and PS3 stuff to give em a go. Is anyone excited about these playable ads? Brian Crecente Xbox 360: Sneak King Review Now Online Companies have teamed up with video game developers to promote their products before (most famously Chase the Chuck Wagon on Atari 2600), but this line of games from Burger King is of particular genius. Carefully crafted to appeal to the young adult males that frequently partake of fast food, the games star BK’s creepy marketing star in roles typically reserved for some of gaming’s biggest heroes. In this review we’ll take a look at Sneak King, which sees the King going Sam Fisher on us. The goal in Sneak King is to stealthily deliver Burger King meals to hungry people, without scaring them away with the King’s hideously frozen face. The people roaming about the game’s five different areas all follow predictable patterns, with blue cones denoting their line of site. Avoid those lines of sight without making too much noise, and you’ll be able to sneak up on and deliver food to just about anyone. Don’t wait too long however, or those hungry zombies (who apparently don’t know how to fend for themselves) will faint from the hunger pains. While diehard gamers spent Sunday morning camping out for a Nintendo Wii, I had a different video game mission in mind. I sidestepped the long lines and walked right into my local Burger King (NYSE: BKC), ordered myself a value meal, and forked over $3.99 for a copy of the Big Bumpin' Xbox 360 game. The title, which works on both the 360 and the original Xbox system, is one of three that the fast food giant began selling on Sunday. Yesterday I went ahead and picked up PocketBike Racer to add to my collection. The next time my kids have a hankering for some BK, I will complete the trilogy by ponying up for Sneak King. At $3.99 a pop -- when most new next-generation games are fetching between $50 and $60 apiece -- I wasn't expecting much. Microsoft (Nasdaq: MSFT) helped produce the games, but Equity Marketing (Nasdaq: EMAK), the company that usually manufactures the kids' meal toy premiums at the chain, is (oddly enough) the one handling the warranty returns.

Gameplay Up first on the chopping block is Sneak King, easily the most simplistic of the three titles, which sadly also means that its got the least amount of depth. Sydney survived a furious Cairns comeback to remain the NBL's only unbeaten home team following a 107-104 victory at the Entertainment Centre on Sunday night. The Kings had a 21-point lead midway through the second term cut to just one point with three minutes left in the third quarter. But Sydney rallied to move to 11-5 for the season and third on the ladder, ahead of Perth (11-5) on percentage. In his 50th NBL game, Mark Worthington paced the Kings with 24 points. New import point guard Ed Scott also showed promising signs in his first game and appears to have the goods to help Sydney's struggling offence. The Kings also had some lapses at the defensive end, but had enough weapons to sneak home and move to 7-0 at home. Taipans veteran Martin Cattalini was averaging a league-best 27.7 points per game entering the clash, but he was held to 19 tonight.
