To that end, core players in search of a sporty title they can enjoy solo should look elsewhere. While it may not feel like a party game at first glance, London 2012 is more enjoyable when more players are added to the mix. The controls are designed to be easy to pick up and play and, for those who are intimidated by the prospect of holding a control pad, the console versions are compatible with motion controls - although the Kinect integration is distinctly hit-and-miss.
One Hit Pixel - United Front Games' latest title takes top spot, with New Super Mario Bros 2 in second and the London 2012 title in third.
Fingers crossed for Darksiders 2. I'm just 2 hours in and it's great fun and rich in content.
If you want to get a taste of the Olympics once again without watching everything once more on BBC iPlayer, you can always try out the game, but you will be missing out on a large number of sports. The game features 46 events from 13 sports, pretty stingy when compared to 304 events from 36 sports that we just witnessed over the past couple of weeks. London 2012 clearly doesn’t quite match the real thing for events to take part in, but the bigger question is, are they any good to play?
GodisaGeek: "Although the London 2012 Olympics have now drawn to a close (we shed a tear, did you?) the official video game is still going strong, holding the top spot in the UK charts for another week."

I think I'll stick to watching the games on App that BBC have brought PS3. Last decent 'games' game was international track and field.
