The Burger King is a Stalker, Part Two
October 9, 2006 - Games
Now I've heard it all. Back in April I heard some strange rumor about Burger King developing video games, and everyone and their uncles had witty remarks about the kindof games in which The King could make an appearance. Well, details have now emerged, and the truth really is stranger than fiction.
We don't have The King running around stealing cars and shooting cops, and he's not infiltrating military installations or battling dragons, but I was right a year and a half ago when I proclaimed him a stalker. In Burger King's smash new title Sneak King, you play the role of the titular King, wherein you sneak up on unsuspecting people and force-feed them 6000-calorie whoppers. I'm not kidding. I imagine that the characters in game will likely be a bit more receptive to the feeding than that, given that this is in fact Burger King advertising which you pay to play, but it's always funny to imagine The King creeping up on Callista Flockheart, pulling back her head by the hair, and jamming a double Whopper with cheese down her throat.
This game and two others will be available for the XBox and XBox 360 for $3.99 with a purchase of food at Burger King. I don't care what anyone says, that King guy is skeevy. At least this article gave me a chance to use the word "titular" in context.
