The first time I played Mortal Kombat, I was too young. I remember the chilled unease in my chest as I watched life-like characters get knocked into pools of acid, limbs torn asunder, and other lovely images not fit for mini-Ryan. More than a decade later, I'm sitting in front of the latest Mortal Kombat, conveniently titled "Mortal Kombat. Read more

Even still, Mortal Kombat is a great game. It’s not the most polished fighter out there, but it has a distinct flavor and it’ll be a hit at gamer get-togethers. I’ll leave you with some friendly advice: show your friends Noob Saibot’s default Fatality. It’s amazing. Read more

This is the one we’ve been waiting for. It’s why the hairs on the back of my neck stood up during the Rebirth video. It gives some honest credibility to the series and highlights everything I love about it. Easily one of the best fighters on the market. Pros Loads of content and presentation with a sparkle finish. This is a game that’s great, and will stay great for years to come. Cons Some graphical glitches. Many challenges may prove alienating to a casual audience. Read more

"FATALITY..."
10/10Reviewer: EightThirty, Mighty Ape9 January 2011This looks really good.

FINISH HIM! Read more
