Vancouver 2010: The Official Videogame Of The Olympic Winter Games
Publisher: Sega
Developer: Eurocom
Platform: Xbox 360, PS3, Windows PC
Release date: 15th January, 2010.

Strangely there isn't a Wii version, which is probably where the biggest audience for this type of game would lie, but nevertheless if you're looking to recreate some of the sports from 2010's Winter Olympics in the comfort of your own living room then this will be the only game for you.

Vancouver 2010 is an authentic simulation of a host of events from the Vancouver 2010 Olympic Winter Games, focusing on the extreme speed of winter sports.

In addition, the game includes 30 different challenges spread over all the events which can be unlocked on a one-by-one basis as the user completes the tasks (For example, the 'Landing Zone' challenge forces the individual to land a ski jump with 10m of 90m and another successive jump within 10m of 110m).
