Mortal Kombat comes to the Vita this Spring

The software line-up for the PlayStation Vita is looking more and more impressive all the time. Learning from the mistakes of the Nintendo 3DS, the Vita has loaded up its launch window with massive hits and plenty of options. In fact, the entire year will see a huge number of big name hits, but the launch window through the Spring is absolutely packed.

One of those major releases has now been confirmed to be Mortal Kombat, which will be released this Spring.

The portable version will be a port of the console game that debuted last April and went on to sell over three million copies. The Vita version is promising a few new tricks that will be unveiled over the coming months, but it will include a full story mode, the x-ray moves, and (of course) fatalities.  

The Vita will hit North America on February 15, and the list of titles that will be available on that day is growing ever more impressive. As it stands today, 24 games will be available on launch day, at least three games are confirmed for a March release, and at least 10 titles are listed for Spring 2012 with more to possibly follow.

The PS5 games with the best graphics
Sam Bridges stands with the child he must carry with him.

While the jumps have been getting smaller and smaller between generations, there's always a nice graphical bump to look forward to when picking up the latest gaming consoles. The PlayStation 5 Pro will give us a nice boost for now but it won't be until the PS6 that graphics take their next major step forward. Still, the visual improvements we got between the best PS4 games and best PS5 games are striking. Not only are resolutions higher but new techniques like ray tracing are now possible and starting to show up in more titles as we get deeper into the console's life.

Now that it's been out for a several years and we have a wide selection of both upgraded titles and ones made exclusively for the PS5, there are a few that have risen to the top that anyone looking to show off the power of their new console will want to grab. Not only are all the games on this list visually impressive -- not just necessarily photorealistic, mind you -- but they're also a blast to play. Graphics don't make a game fun, but it just works out that the best-looking games on PS5 are also some of the best-playing. Here are our picks for the PS5 games with the best graphics, which we will keep updated as all the upcoming PS5 games arrive.
