In Pictures: The best wacky gadgets of 2012

From smartphone laser tag to a mind-controlled helicopter, these techie toys bring the fun

AppTag smartphone laser tag

Have you ever played a first-person shooter and thought, "Man, it's be cool to play this for real, except without the threat of, you know, actual death"? If so, then you are in luck, as AppTag bridges the gap between gaming and real-life shoot-outs with its hardware and app that turns iOS and Android devices into laser blasters. You can team up or go every-man-for-himself in a Halo-style game complete with health kits, body armor, and ammo packs.
