Mortal Kombat 9 2011

I was actually decent at Tekken and liked most of their characters.

Meh, I liked Tekken Tag Tournament and I own Tekken 5: Dark Resurrection, so I'm not unfamiliar with the series, but I'd take Mortal Kombat over Tekken any day of the week.

Laughing Man you have written a very passionate review however I would have elaborated some of the story angles that conflict with the traditional hero and villain archetypes for several characters. For instance when you defeat the ladder as Shang Tsung the hero and villain roles of Shang Tsung and Liu Kang are unexpectedly reversed. While I would applaud the additions of moral shades of gray rather than contrasting black and white and right and wrong I feel slightly betrayed.

Thanks for the kudos MK Freak, but as for singling out particular story lines, I didn't want the review to be spoiler heavy. But I agree with some of the directions that they've taken the series:


PLUS:

Those are some very heavy spoilers, LM. Now I understand that reference you made to the story and how upset it must have made you.

Of course, the minds behind Mortal Kombat VS DC Universe bypassed logic with the trite "two dimensions colliding" thing, so it wouldn't surprise me if they wave a magic wand and say "all is well".

I have discovered some interesting news that will interest those of you who bought Mortal Kombat. As you might know there are four downloadable characters being released. Skarlet and Kenshi have been released with free compatibility packs that include Mortal Kombat 3 Cyrax and Sektor costumes and classic Noob Saibot and Human Smoke costumes. The next downloadable character is the cult favorite ninja Rain but there is no word as to whether or not free costume packs will be released at the same time. The mysterious fourth downloadable character is hinted by Ed Boon's twitter post to be Tanya from Mortal Kombat 4. Tanya is seen in the arena stage if one of the fighters is Kitana or Skarlet.

Tanya?????!!!!! One of the Mortal Kombat characters I HATE... Oh well, at least there's Blind Kenchi and his cool psychic-Matrix moves. Brutal fatalities, too!

That reminds me to show you, my fellow game geeks, something that will blow your minds.

I have to resist my need to quit work early, take two weeks off, go to Home Depot and Radio Shack, spend $2000, and make one of these things for my game room...

That is the single most beautiful things I've ever seen. It's like looking at the face of God. You can't move, you can't speak, and even from the computer monitor you can feel the gentle warmth in your chest and it causes your heart to pause and it brings a tear to your eye.

Either that, or it's acid reflux from my burrito. Still a cool cab though.
