Mario and Sonic at the Olympic Winter Games

If you didn’t get enough arm ache with Mario and Sonic at the Olympic Games then prepare for more with Mario and Sonic at the Olympic Winter Games in Vancouver for Wii and DS. The original game was pretty fun and showed potential for further Mario and Sonic games as well as selling very well for Sega. This time around with a Winter theme, balance board support and possibly even some Wiimotionplus we could be looking at a cracking Mario and Sonic game for New Year 2010. Buy Mario and Sonic at the Olympic Winter Games now New: Buy Mario...

Beijing 2008 review

Strangely this is Sega’s second Olympics release over the past 8 months – their first one being Mario and Sonic at the Olympic Games. This is the official game of this year’s Olympics and in fine tradition will have you waggling the analogue stick or mashing buttons until you develop RSI and, if you’re from the US anyway, try to sue. Brits will just complain quietly to the person next to them. The game covers all 38 disciplines including the standard track and field events but also table tennis, judo, archery, cycling, weight lifting and swimming. If you’re old enough...

Mario and Sonic at the Olympic Games review

So I’ve done a competition and a feature about Mario and Sonic at the Olympic games so now it’s time for the review. For the first time the fat plumber and the hedgehog have starred together in a game but what’s it like? Have their egos ruined it? Have they made sweet music together? Well, a bit of both. There’s some good and some indifferent aspects of this game which I’m about to explain to you now. Basically, this plays a lot like the sports games from back in the day such as Track and Field and Daley Thompson’s Decathlon,...
