Den of Geek writes: "Most major sporting events see the release of a number of titles released in the run up to the event and this year's Winter Olympics is no exception. RTL's latest in their Winter Sports series is available now and I had the opportunity to take a look at it and put it through its paces."
Winter Sports 2010: The Great Tournament is an unofficial game of the 2010 Vancouver Winter Olympics. Anyone that has had the (mis)fortune of playing the official version of the game may have been waiting anxiously for this title, hoping for some redeeming gaming experience to fall from this sporting spectacle.

I'd even go as far as to say it is quite difficult - not in the splitting the atom or building the Space Shuttle with a penknife sort of difficult, but in the rubbing your stomach at the same time as patting your head sort of difficult. More on that later!"
The second game this week aimed at sports fans who are keenly anticipating next month's events in Vancouver. But if you are going to buy one Winter Olympics simulation, there aren't many reasons to recommend this license-lacking title. There are only eight different disciplines available to play – all of which offer relatively different experiences – but unfortunately they all fail to provide much excitement, with poor controls resulting in them being little more than mini-games.
