It looks like Burger King is looking to make an affordable trio of games for Xbox and Xbox 360 to sell for an affordable price at a Burger King near you.

Kotaku.com was tipped off to a survey indicating that they were considering making three games (in fighting, action, and racing varieties) for said systems for about $4 each.

More details at the link, including a tidbit about a BK Kids Dance Dance Revolution promotion.

Be sure to eat a Whopper while playing, or you won't get the full game experience.

I remember when Taco Bell did this with the 'kids meals'. except those games were on floppy disks, and they all had something to do with tacos.

I suggest their first title be a survival horror themed game, something in the vein of Resident Evil: Nemesis where Nemesis would be the creepy ass, plastic masked King chasing ya around.

I hate the king. With a passion. An unbridalled (sp?) passion known only to me in one other form: video games.

*shudders* The king is creepy.

The problem is, once I've finished my burger and go home (Or take the burger home and eat it there), I pretty much don't want to see anything related to food. The prospect of playing a game that is based around food (And fast food, at that) isn't very exhilirating.

And how the hell are they going to make money off games that are $4 each? Especially Xbox 360, heh... oh, wait, you might get easy achievements and points and even gamertag pictures and themes, oh joy! Burger King on my blades!

Too bad for them I don't own a 360. Or live in the US.

And they say western gaming can compete with Japan.

Didn't McDonald's have a NES game? And exactly what kind of graphics do you think $4 will buy on the 360?

Yes, they did. Though it was designed by a "garage" programmer on his own, McDonalds then paid to have him re-do the artwork McDonalds style, then it was released (and wasn't sold at the restaurants).

It's $4, quit bitching, hell it may turn out slightly amusing.

I accidently ate my copy of Chex Quest. I'm not a morning person and it's a bad idea to hide surprises in my breakfast cereal.

Yeah... no joke. What's with that new commercial with him dancing on a bed having a pillow fight with construction workers and sweaty men?!
Is he a closet homosexual??? And if so... what kind of meat is really in a Whopper?!

*moan*... my stomach hurts. I cry bitter tears for the developers who had to work on this game. My heart crys for you my brothers, rest your defiled soles now, take a shower and wash away the taint.

Anyway, as my hatred grows for the king and his empire of propaganda, I do see one good thing... maybe if he gets his own game he can stay the FUCK out of real games like Fight Night.

I wonder if the programmer was paid in Whoppers.

How quickly you all forget the greatest food/video game tie in of all time. (http://www.nesplayer.com/yonoid/main.htm)

I'm proud to say I actually have a copy of this masterpiece, though I'll be damned if I know how the hell I got it.

Technically, I preferred the Cool Spot (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cool_Spot) game that featured the spot from the 7-up cans although the Noid had tighter controls. There's also this little gem (http://www.genesiscollective.com/ShowPage.php?GameLink=817) featuring Fido Dido from 7-up.

And for the record BurgerTime is the greatest food/video game tie-in of all time. A close second is Budweiser Tapper, if that counts as a food tie-in.
