Best Android, iPhone and iPad apps of 2012: best racing games

2012 was a great year for apps. Apple’s App Store accumulated more than 700,000 apps and Android’s Google Play was on par with similar numbers, but in that deep forest of applications, it’s sometimes hard to find your way.

That’s why we are hand-picking the best software of the year, the best games and the best apps. We are starting it all with a symbolic 12, a dirty dozen of the best Android, iPhone and iPad racing games of 2012.

We have covered only games that have stood the test of time and users, and including it all from cartoony fun racing games to mind-blowingly realistic driving games. Take a close look.

I'd give that title to real racing 2 (when it's working fine ).
NFS misses the freaking throttle button!
And has no multiplayer.
Shame
