So I picked up the Burger King Trilogy

It's a pleasant surprise that BK went the full mile and packaged the games in the standard 360 green cases. They could have just as easily put them in crappy cardboard slip cases.

Its even more surprising this game beats the shit out of Sonic.

:lol

I downloaded the demo back in October and played it for about ten minutes. Talk about a terrible game and another nail in the poor hedgehog's coffin.

The standard green cases, good covers, multi-page colored inserts . . . and even a free 48-hour xbox live gold trial. And the games themselves are nice small doses of fun.

I really hope this promotion is a big success because I'd love to see additional companies do it.

If there was ever a game where The King actually did beat the shit out of Sonic, I'd pay a hell of a lot more than $3.99 for it.

:lol Now I see why so many wanted Sonic in SSB:B.
 
Big Bumpin is definately my favorite(sadly I've fallen to 20th place on the leaderboards).

I also enjoy Sneak King(camera doesn't bother me).

I've never been a big fan of Mario Kart games but I do enjoy Pocketbike Racer in single player. The online multiplayer has some real annoying issues though.

1. I'd say about half the time, the races don't start and you get a Lost Connection to Host message. As if that wasn't bad enough...
2. When the lost connection thing happens, if your next race takes place on a different course then the 2 levels' graphics get mixed together.
3. A much smaller problem. No "talking" indicator in the on-line lobby. You don't know who's saying what.

First $100 game and worth every cent.

Word!


I complained about the King being ridiculous product placement in Fight Night Round 3 . . . but I have been converted. The King's charm has won me over.

Perhaps he snuck up on me and shoved a whopper in my mouth just before I passed out.


If this promotion is a success . . . I think we can expect to eventually see some sort of Nintendo-style cartoon-violence fighter with the King in it.

That sounds like a feature, not a bug! Are you actually in a weird mixed environment and it still works?
 
I don't know if it's already posted, but there are free King gamerpics up for download in the marketplace.

Gotta try and get the King's face into Rainbow 6....

You still see pieces of the graphics of the previous course but you can just drive right through them. Makes racing on the current course difficult to say the least.
 
Picked them up a few days ago but only just checked the racer out yesterday. Quite fun, played for a while and got some achivements along the way. Environments are surprisingly well-done in variety and visuals. Most fun to me is boosting in 150cc races, where the game's boost is so strong you can easily punt yourself clear out of the environment on almost every jump, especially the suburban map.
 
I grabbed all 3 at lunch today. Im impressed way better than I had expected. I cant believe one of the best intros to a game is from a 3.99 BK promotional game... Sneak King. The intro video of the king sneaking around the dark outside a house is friggin classic.

GAH!!!! I can't get the 50M Jump achievement in Pocket Bike Racer. I'm trying it on the "construction track" and the furthest I'm getting 42 meters. Is there another spot that's better?

The suburban neighborhood track has some good jumps. Also, it helps if you're using a higher CC cycle.
 
You can also hold down the boost to stay in the air longer - after I realized that I got it on the construction level on the highest cc.
