The Best Games of 2012

7. WIPEOUT 2048

The best racer on the Vita is also one of the best entries in the storied history of WipeOut, going all the way back to PS One. Boasting deep, textured visuals and a blistering frame rate that threatens to burn off your fingertips, WipeOut lets you know the Vita is for real. Link capability with the PS3 allows you to race a buddy in real time from the comfort of your own screen. Crazy fun, and a very high replay value likely to last until WipeOut’s next incarnation.
