King Games

Not to be confused with the Activision-owned King.com.

Background: King Games, owned by Blitz Software, was the publisher of three Xbox 360 video games, sold through advertisement at Burger King restaurants. The games were developed by Blitz Software (properties currently owned by Rebellion Developments) in late 2006, which were given away at Burger King restaurants for $3.99 with purchase of a value meal throughout November-December 2006. The games, although specifically made for the 360, could also be played on the original Xbox by using the 360's backwards compatibility features in reverse. With these factors in mind, the games sold massively well.

The bottom of the black screen catches fire in a way resembling the lighting of a grill, with a the floor having texture to match.

FX/SFX: The fire and the logo/name transition.

Music/Sounds: The explosion and fire sizzling.
