Beijing 2008
The 2008 Olympic Games in Beijing began on Friday, August 08, 2008, but just because you were not there doesn’t mean you can’t participate in your own version of the international event. Through the magic of your game console and personal computer you can guide your avatar athletes to victory, glory, and gold medals inside numerous games celebrating the Olympics. Here are just a few of the games we found over on Gamespot.
Compete in over 35 Olympic events and try to win gold and glory. Beijing 2008 is the official game of the 2008 Olympics as the strident tone of the box imagery drives the point home.

Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games
Taking a decidedly lighter tone toward the Olympic Games is Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games. However, the competition can still be fierce – I mean, we are talking about a hedgehog here.

Video Olympics
Perhaps you are of the old school and would like to have your Olympic Avatar be no more than a few pixels on a television screen. Video Olympics is a gem from October 1977 designed for the Atari 2600.
