Starting on Sunday, Nov. 19, you can pick up one of three Xbox games at Burger King, for $3.99 per game with the purchase of a Value Meal.  “Pocketbike Racer,” “Big Bumpin’” and “Sneak King” are racing, action and adventure games, all rated “E” for everyone. The games are compatible with both Xbox and Xbox 360.

All three titles include popular BK icons, like the King and Subservient Chicken, in games that are fun to pick up and play.  The games are made by Blitz Games, one of Europe’s largest independent video game developers.

The games are more "arcade style" games than full-blown retail games, and they don't offer any achievements for Xbox 360, but they will offer tons of fun for a few bucks. 

[Edit: I just heard they will have 200 points each, like Arcade games]

From the media alert:

• “Pocketbike Racer” – In the wild world of Pocketbike racing, players race the King and his miniature motorbike crew through five fun, yet challenging speedways.  Each track varies in level of difficulty, and players navigate long straights, tight bends and sharp turns at high speeds while attempting to earn enhancements and tools that they can use as an advantage over opponents.  Featuring HAVE IT YOUR WAY® customization options, players select a bike and a driver and then hit the track of their choice ­-- a BURGER KING® restaurant parking lot, a construction site, a backyard, the King’s garden or the Fantasy Ranch set.  In addition to individual play, four players can race against each other in classic split-screen set-up, or eight players can battle it out online using XBOX Live. 
• “Big Bumpin’” – Big Bumpin’ looks like a traditional carnival bumper car ride and features familiar BURGER KING® personalities, including the Subservient Chicken and Brooke Burke.  But, there’s a catch – Big Bumpin’ arenas come with some big hazards, like surprise saws, bottomless pits and “power up” items that let gamers dole out thundering bumps.  With several different types of game play, gamers have a chance to hone their bumper car skills in a variety of challenging scenarios.  The game features five theme parks, including the “Ice Box,” “Broiler,” “King’s Court,” “The Deep” and “Monsoon of Doom,” and multiple modes of play for each, such as intense four-player and XBOX Live-supported.  Easy to learn.  Fun to play.  Difficult to avoid a major crash.
• “Sneak King” – Players step into the King’s royal shoes and use cunning and stealth to sneak up behind unsuspecting people and bestow them with a delicious meal.  The goal of Sneak King is to surprise hungry citizens with BURGER KING® sandwiches and other menu items before they pass out from hunger.  Whether in a logging yard, construction site, suburban neighborhood or downtown urban scene -- each rich with detail and hidden pathways -- players can hide out and earn points based on how elaborately the delivery is executed.
