McKids is a prime example of everything wrong with video gaming. They took an established concept, duplicated it and added a new feature (walking upside down). The King, on the other hand, is subverting and mocking the genres of video gaming. I'm sure you noticed the obvious similarities between Sneak King and Splinter Cell and Big Bumpin' and Battle Nibbles, but instead of taking the games and recreating them with the King as a character, Burger King is switching things up, adding an atmosphere of stalking and carnival fun, respectively. These games are no McKids. They are not designed solely for product placement. They are games made for the one true purpose of gaming: to have fun.
