Xbox Mini-Games...they're Grrrrrreat!

By Ken Weeks

Here's a reason to eat your Wheaties, or rather your Mini-Wheats. Kellogs is offering 5 Xbox mini-games in specially marked boxes of Frosted Flakes, Fruit Loops, Rice Krispies, Corn Pops and the afore mentioned Mini-Wheats. These aren't games on disc. They're old school Tiger-style LCD games designed with collectable flair. Sweet! Here's what might show up in your bowl if you're lucky:

  • Spaceship Blaster – Eliminate the enemy spaceships before they reach you
  • Motorcycle Madness – Avoid or eliminate oncoming traffic to move up a level and win
  • Disco Mania – Copy the dance instructor's moves to move through the levels
  • Robo Blast – Capture the robots before they escape
  • Mystic Castle – Navigate through the castle, collecting gems and defeating enemies

Hey, the Zune costs more and doesn't come with handle bars or sugar-encrusted flakes. Unfortunately for cereal killers in the US, this Kellogs promotion is only for Canada and Australia. But there's alway Ebay.
