Even if you're not a fanatic about 100% game completions and unlocking every piece of clothing (which only Miis, and not the licensed characters, can wear), sports equipment decals, Mario and Sonic related music tracks, or ranking first in the events, Mario and Sonic at the Olympic Winter Games offers enough motion-controlled distraction to keep you busy. The events aren't anything mind-blowing, but they're all competent and solid enough to keep you coming back to improve your last run.
Stan at GameSpew: There’s so many Mario sports games out there, but we’ve narrowed them down to the top 10. The Premier League standard of Mario sports games, if you will.
With all of the excitement and national pride surrounding the 2018 Winter Olympics, you may feel compelled to get involved in the action. And unless you intend on following the example of the guy who slid in during the opening ceremony, you'll have to live vicariously through video games.
Not sure which will best capture the spirit of the Games? Check out our list for the closure you need.
Don’t like sports? There’s a whole segment of games you can immediately write off, as far as you’re concerned. Or can you? You don’t have to be a comics fan to like Batman: Arkham City, and the appeal of Mario isn’t just limited to plumbing aficionados. Brad Woodling and Graham Russell are here to help with a list of games you should check out even if they have sports in them, because you’re missing out on a lot of fun.
