Burger King X-Box game promotion

Anyone seen these? Burger king has teamed up with X-box to sell crappy video games bearing the Burger King's likeness (yes, that scarey looking dude in the mask). Apparently there are three different ones, a race gaem, some sort of bumper car game, and another that I don't have any idea about.

All I can say is...FUNNY!!! Hillariously bad games that are used as promotional advertisments? Wow! I don't own an X-box, but I'd actually be willing to buy one just to play these.

SUrely, there used to be a rich culture of horrible games based off of commercial characters. In the old days of Atari, we had Kool-aid man and Chase the Chuck Wagon (to name a few). I played Kool-aoid man once. Horrible stuff, actually. These were basically used as promotions, you collect UPC symbols and sent away for them. Nintendo was no better (though more restrictive). McDonald land? Cool Spot? Yo Noid? Unlike the Atari Games, you actually had to buy these full price at stores. SNES and Genisis had Chester Cheetah and more Cool Spot. The last one I thought I'd ever see was an M&M's factory game where you had to catch the Minis and stop them from taking over. This was for Game Boy Color (and I think they had some for PC).

I guess no one cared about buying them when you could play commercial themed games online at their respective websites (I.e. Post, Wonka...etc).
