Activision Value Publishing announced a multi-year
alliance with Discovery Consumer Products to develop and distribute video games based on the
popular television series American Chopper. The agreement grants Activision Value
interactive rights to publish American Chopper games for the PC, console and handheld
platforms in North America. The first video games based on the license are expected to be
available at retail stores nationwide this holiday.
Since its debut on the Discovery
Channel in 2003, American Chopper is the highest rated series on the channel, averaging more
than four million viewers each week. The show is also a top-three rated program on cable
television. Filled with action, suspense and family drama, it follows the real-life
experiences of the father and son team, Paul Teutul, Sr. and Paul Teutul, Jr. who fabricate
choppers out of their Orange County Choppers
garage.
