As the Vancouver Olympics draws to a close, one can still participate in the action from the comforts of home. The Vancouver 2010 Olympics has teamed with SEGA to recently release the official video game released for the PS3 and Xbox 360 systems.
The game features most of the events featured at the games including luge, skiing, shortboard, snowboarding, and speed skating.
The Vancouver Olympics website offers interested gamers the opportunity to preview the game with their online videos.
This is not a new concept to the Olympics to capitalize on the success of the previous games. For example, SEGA has also created Mario and Sonic at the Olympic Games for the Wii. The first game released surrounded the 2008 summer games in Beijing, China.
To relate to the recent Vancouver 2010 games, SEGA has released Mario and Sonic at the Winter Olympic Games.
As a gamer, SEGA would do better to stay with the Wii system for this type of game. Wii is a more interactive system that allows players to move with the familiar characters which are a favorite to all Nintendo fans. To play the Olympic games on a stationary system such as Xbox or PS3 is going to get very boring very quickly and will mostly fade with as the excitement for the Vancouver Olympics draws to a close.

I was wondering where your blog would go after the Olympics were over. I think this is a great way to keep people coming back because there is so much more to the Olympics than just the games themselves. It reaches so many other aspects including commercials I've seen, and obviously games which you've already pointed out. I think you are right about having Wii take the game over. This would have been a lot more interactive and Wii seems to be the "it" game now, not PS3. I'm looking forward to see where your blog goes from here, great job!
