The key to our awards is not the release date but when we played the game in question.

Best Vita Title 2013; And the Winner is 

Zen Pinball 2

I have played this game on Vita, PS3 and PC and I regard the handheld version as the superior experience. Its a tactile thing the way you grip the Vita while playing and the feeling of movement of the screen even though it's just animation is amazing. If my Vita could only be a Pinball machine I would be happy however thankfully Sony's handheld is more than just this and my hope is the platform will continue to grow in the future.
