Danny Boyle may have had us celebrate the Olympics in style with a lavish opening ceremony, but sadly not all of us have £26 million lying around. As a result the IGN team has resorted to celebrating in our own, special way with the Official London 2012 Game, which is currently sitting at number one in the UK charts. So join us as we recount who's been doing the best in the real-world events, while having a go ourselves.
Italy claimed gold in the men's Archery Team event as Michele Frangilli hit a 10 with the last arrow of the final against the USA. Italy have never before won Team gold at the Games and were nine behind with one shot remaining when Frangilli struck centre gold, but can you repeat perfection and hit a bull's-eye?
The United State's Kim Rhode won skeet gold on Sunday to become the first American to win individual medals at five consecutive Olympics. Not only that, 33-year old Rhode also tied the world record while setting a new Olympic record with 99 points. See if you can beat that!
Beating a World Record is no easy feat in the game, but American Dana Vollmer took home gold alongside a new world record in the Women's 100m butterfly final. The 24-year old completed the race in 55.98 seconds, beating China's Ying Lu and Australia's Alicia Coutts into second and third respectively.
China 's Wu Minxia and He Zi easily won the women's synchronised 3m springboard event, and their nation is expected to win most if not all of the remaining diving events. Simple dives are easy in SEGA's Olympics game but you'll only start scoring high by notching up the difficulty.
South Africa's Cameron Van der Burgh finished first in the men's 100m breaststroke final on Sunday night. He won in a time of 58.46 – 0.12 seconds faster than the previous record held by Australian Brenton Rickard. We tried to to do the same, but trust us it's no walk in the park...
