148apps: The London 2012 Olympic Games opening ceremony is just days away and millions will be tuning in to watch. Instead of sitting back and rooting for your country to win, download the London 2012 – Official Mobile Game and be a part of the Olympics. The mobile game lets players train the ultimate athlete to compete in 9 events that range from the 100m and pole vault to double tap and archery. There are also three game modes that helps ramp up the game play, but do these mini-games stand up to players’ expectations?
With London 2012 now completely finished, Dave Sadd takes a brief look at the parallels between gaming and The Games for Pixels or Death and asks...why not Olympic gaming?
4 years ago since Beijin 2008, SEGA released this year’s London 2012 Olympics video game, hoping to capture the intensity of each event and atmosphere of the Olympics. The London 2012 Olympics is an historic moment for Great Britain, so will the Olympics video game do the same for the gaming industry?
An Olympics game that isn't mediocre!
Ah, the Olympics. The finest international sporting event that comes around every year and fills two weeks of our summer with excitement and anticipation as we cheer our nation on. Unfortunately an Olympics game also comes around every four years to try and share the triumph leading to utter disappointment and a game that can be described as mediocre at best.
Watching the Olympics really makes me want to play this... but I'm not spending $50 to do it. I'll wait for it to hit the < $20 pile.
