Over 2 million BK games served

By Brendan Sinclair, GameSpotPosted Dec 20, 2006 4:11 pm PT

Fast-food chain's collection of promotional games featuring mascots like The King, Subservient Chicken reaches sales milestone faster than Gears of War.

Last week, Microsoft proudly touted the sales figures of its Xbox 360-exclusive shooter Gears of War, mentioning that it had achieved sales of 2 million copies worldwide in just six weeks of release. Microsoft was mildly one-upped by promotional partner Burger King today, as the fast-food chain announced that its trio of games for the Xbox and Xbox 360 had broken the 2 million mark in just four weeks.

That number represents the cumulative sales of Burger King's three games--Pocketbike Racer, Big Bumpin', and Sneak King. All three were developed by Blitz Games, maker of the original Fuzion Frenzy, and are rated E for Everyone. The games sell for $3.99 each with the purchase of a value meal, while supplies last. For more on the Burger King collection, check out GameSpot's reviews of Pocketbike Racer, Big Bumpin', and Sneak King.

    Bonik are you retarded? The gaming industries numbers are at an all time high. In fact they've continued to increase inspite of market analysts predictions. The only reason this game has sold so well is because it only costs 4 bucks.

    Heh...Sounds like PS3 fanboys to me. Well, just keep this in mind; Both are just money in MS pockets, while Sony has nothing selling nearly as well, and more then likely won't have anything that popular for a looooong time to come. -=p

    360 fanboys crack me up.

    Wouldn't I have to *not* be bashing the PS3 to be a PS3 fanboy? Hell, shouldn't I even WANT one? Logic these days.

    It's not my fault Gears of War got served...by Burger King.

    Rock on King!!! I like Pocketbike Racer. It was kind of fun for 4 bucks and I got some points.

    I own all three of these games...you can laugh or cheer but they are fun for the money. It's fun just trying to get all the achievements alone. Why wouldn't anyone nab all three for $12. I've played worse games on the 360 than those. Besides I collect unique or promo games. These should be in every collectors stash even if not for just the fact that it's the first time (that I'm aware of) that a fast food chain has sold video games based on themselves (somewhat LOL). This is video game history in the making. $12 is not a lot of money (or shame for some) for owning a piece of gaming history, whether or not you look at it for being a bad or good product.

    Hey bonik, GoW IS a fun, long lasting game. Quit talking out of your ass.

    I've seen the commercials for these BK games, and they do look like a lot of fun. No where near the level Gears is, but still fun.

    Plus, everyone talking about BK owning MS...yeah, that money DOES go into the pockets of MS. Don't forget that.

    This shows that even the stupidest gamer, can realize how badly games are being made these days. For the best rated game on the xbox360 to lose against sales to burgerking's $4 games, there is a problem.

    If game producers don't start making some FUN long lasting games, then there will be no such thing as the gaming industry, because they rather lay fecies on a plate and give us a knife and fork, and charge us $60-$100. Rather than burgerking who is doing esxactly the same thing for $4.

    If the quality of gaming doesnt improve, they will all die a horrid death in a gutter becvause they killed the gaming industry, and will not be qualified for anything else.

    I rented GoW on sunday with my friend, and we beat it in 9 hours on casual I then proceeded to beat it on hardcore by myself. There's really only one way to go through everything.... not that much replay value, and I don't have Xbox Live, so that part of the game is non-existant to me. Also, at 60$.... I dunno.... there are some other cheaper games that are also really good that I can get WAY more time out of. Like Marble Blast, i spent 2 hours shaving off fractions of a second on the same level. I DO plan on getting Pocketbike Racer though.
    ------WHY??
    Because my other friend (who's a huge critic of everything) said it's the best 4$ he's ever spent. The 4$ price tag is what's selling the game. Next time I happen to be hungry and near a BK, I will GLADLY shell out a measly 4$ for what will probably be ate least 4 hours of stupid entertainment with my friends. Now let's compare the price to entertainment value.
    GoW- 19 hours for 60$
    BK- 15 hours for 12$
    see my point??

    That Burger King kinda reminds me of Ex UK president. Out of 2 million people, most will be kids I guess...very small kids.

    Heh...Sounds like PS3 fanboys to me. Well, just keep this in mind; Both are just money in MS pockets, while Sony has nothing selling nearly as well, and more then likely won't have anything that popular for a looooong time to come. -=p
