With all the buzz surrounding the Summer Olympic games, which are now well underway, we're totally stoked for all of the friendly competition among international athletes playing out in London. For those who aren't content to be mere armchair spectators glued to your TV, iOS devices, or web browsers, the London 2012 Official Mobile Game puts a little taste of the Olympic action at your fingertips. Unfortunately, a few loose screws rattling around underneath the buoyant presentation make this official game a rather embarrassing affair at times.
Creating a custom athlete -- complete with RPG-like ability stats that level up as you train -- gets things off to a promising start, and London 2012 lets your virtual Olympian complete in nine different events, ranging from the 100 meter dash and hurdles to kayaking and archery. Event mini-games vary in terms of the fun and mileage you'll squeeze out of them, but they do a good job of capturing the grand spectacle of the Olympics.
