(Wednesday, December 27, 2006) - What's better than pocket bike racing? Pocket bike racing with the King. The only word that comes to mind when thinking of the trio of Burger King games is... really? The idea of Pocket Bike Racing, Sneak King, and Big Bumpin' is completely ridiculous but compelling at the same time. The developer, Blitz Games, was also the developer of Fuzion Frenzy, the multiplayer title that features minigames, arcade games and tournament modes.

The latest news, according to Gamespot, consists of the unbelievable sales of the three games. All three Burger King games saw over 2 million cumulative copies sold in just 4 weeks, while the highly acclaimed Microsoft shooter, Gears of War, hit 2 millions sold copies in roughly 6 weeks.

Sneak King takes a Splinter Cell edge with stealth. The goal of the game is to give people platters of burgers without them knowing you are sneaking up on them. Pocket Bike Racing is exactly as the title states, and well, Big Bumpin' is just bumber cars with crazy twist and turns. You have to watch out for ice patches and dodge saws.

While the Burger King partnership has outdone Microsoft, it also helps that each of the Burger King games is sold for only $3.99 when you purchase a value meal and is available for XBOX and XBOX 360.

The question is how long will this novelty last, and will the Burger King videogames actually reach top sales on the videogame charts? Gamespot has also reported that none of the BK games have rated higher than 6.0 out of 10.
