During E3 we were practically drowning in top quality videos, news and reports so you can forgive the sound of a barrel being scraped as you read this. After the PlayStation/Coca Cola tie in comes news that Burger King (US) and Natal Wave Kinect are teaming up.
Last year XBox and The King joined forces to sell a trio of 100% flame grilled games; Pocketbike Racer, Big Bumpin’ and Speed King which together shifted over 2 million units. Chris DiCesare, director of Xbox partnership marketing said:
“We’re elated that our effort to pair two iconic brands has succeeded in providing Xbox owners with a fun diversion this holiday.”
Details of how Burger King and Xbox will be working together have yet to be revealed but it is rumoured to be downloadable title in the style of Nintendo hit, ‘Cooking Mama’. Upon the completion of a level, your XBox DVD drive will plop out a 100% Flame grilled patty.*

An eating simulation, you buy your burger king and you have to sit and eat it in front of kinect in the same manner that a little on screen figure is!

Maybe it will be DLC for them, where you use it to get extra points afterwards for restoring your energy levels.

Perhaps MS can do a Kinect version of Train Simulator called ‘Packed Tube’.
It could come with a larger, sturdier, motorised version of the Wii balance board at a bargain price of $249/£199. Player 1 drives the Tube train as smoothly as possible, while players 2-4 stand closely together on the balance board with one arm raised as if holding a strap.
The balance board moves according to how smoothly Player 1 drives, and players 2-4 need to stand as still as possible for the duration of the journey. The more stationary they remain, the higher the score.
No? Well, it’s certainly better than anything they showed at E3.

Free Kinect everytime you go large? Then a free BK Meal everytime Kinect reports you losing weight.
