Picked up all three games just because it's cheap (and cause they look silly).
Sneak King is kind of like Metal Gear Solid, where you have to hide and stuff like that, except instead of killing bad guys, you're presenting people with food, and often doing a silly dance with it (called "flourish" in this game). You can hide in stuff like garbage cans or large piles of leaves (or even inside houses), and the people have a field of vision that if you step into it, they lose their appetite and you lose your chain (which multiplies your points). You can "run", but if you do it too close to people, they may turn around to look at you (his sneaking animation is hiliarious though where he quickly tiptoes towards people and what not).
I have to say though, I've noticed some bugs already in it. My very first game, the king spawned below the map, so I couldn't move or anything, and had to turn off the 360 and turn it back on to fix it. Other times I'd go into a house to hide, and then the game freezes up.
The racing one is an awful lot like Mario Kart for the most part. But it's not as fun (partly cause there's only 5 tracks, and partly because it doesn't really do anything particularly new). There are different modes you can play though, such as a battle mode (where you try to score the most hits against someone instead of racing), or a hardcore mode (where it's straight racing against others, with no weapons or powerups on the road).
Saw a bug with this one too, where I hit a wall, and then got stuck in it, and had to wait till the computer racers finished to get out of the hole.
The bumper car one confused the hell out of me. I played it for like 10 minutes before getting bored of it. I had no idea what I was supposed to be doing for the majority of the game, and the computer seemed to cheat a lot (like I hit them and they don't move far, but they hit me and I fall back like 20 feet, usually into a bottomless pit). On top of that, it's really, really hard to tell which car is yours sometimes, so you'll probably end up driving off the edge of the map cause you're looking at the wrong car. This game looks like it has potential in terms of multiplayer though.
You definitely get what you pay for with these games, but they are fun for the short time that you play them (cept maybe the last one I mentioned), and these could become collectors items later on (depending on how popular they become).
How ya doing, buddy?
