Don't even try to tell me you're not loving the Summer Olympics right now. I've been searching for a decent Olympic game app, and I finally found one in Athletics: Summer Sports. Take your country through 30 different events, and 5 competitions like triathlons and decathlons to compete for gold. The games 3D graphics are very good for the iPhone, and I love how many different sports you can play to keep you coming back. If you want to do things like swim, run, long jump, javelin, or row, you'll need to tap the screen repeatedly as fast as you can if you plan on winning a gold medal. Not so fast, if it's one of the longer races, you'll need to change your tapping pace to conserve energy just like Michael Phelps and Missy Franklin! Lets get inspired people, you think this is a joke? Get ready to sweat, give up, even cry, as you battle to beat real scores across the world!

Athletics: Summer Sports doesn't have every Olympic event, but with other sports like diving, fencing, archery, and pistol shooting, there are plenty of events to keep you playing and competing with friends on the leaderboard. You can even split the screen to get you and your lovers blood flowing! If I could add an update, different ways to touch the screen when playing an event would be better, and a difficulty option, as you better plan on losing unless you are a real fast tapping Olympian. Tangram3D has really taken their time with this app, and I hope with great reviews, we'll get more sports and features like the yellow world record line. If you're watching every minute of the Summer Olympics and looking to join in on the medals in the laziest way possible, well except for the finger exercises, Athletics: Summer Sports is the app for you.

We would love to hear if you downloaded the app and what you thought of it, leave us a comment below!

Swim Meet: Finger Racing By Darwin 3D iPhone Review

Well it is Olympic swimming time, so you probably want to pretend you're Michael Phelps or Missy Franklin right? Swim Meet is a very simple yet fun iPhone app. There are 5 different races: freestyle, breaststroke, backstroke, butterfly, and 400 m individual medley. You put two fingers down as feet until the race starts, and when the gun goes off, you move your fingers on the screen as it tells you to. The better and faster you move your fingers on the iPhone screen, the faster you'll go. All you can do right now is compare your fastest time on Game Center against the world.

You will have played this whole iPhone game in a matter of five minutes, so at this point it probably will not stay on your iPhone for very long. What would keep this iPhone app on my iPhone longer, is if they could add a little animation to the water, and Ryan Lochte under water as you move your fingers. That way you could see someone swimming which would be much more exciting. Since this iPhone app all ready has the online leader board, I'd also love to see the ability to race against friends and others online, and also see other swimmers next to you, so you know if you need to step it up a notch. I say check Swim Meet out, and if you feel the same as I do, maybe we'll get a nice update soon!
