  1. MK9 was really good, shall be picking this up next year!

  2. One of my favorite series, played every one, though the last was somewhat tainted by releasing the same week as the infamous psn hack.

  3. Them two look proper hard.

    Reckon I could have ’em though.

  4. Cool trailer, does look rather good!

  5. Nice one, about time a next gen fighter was announced! Hope it has some sort of co-op mode.

    • Not knocking this, but how exactly would a co-op mode work in a one on one fighter?? :S

      • tag team

      • Oh… Sounds awful.

        Sorry, but if I am right in the middle of a fight (& am losing I suppose), would I want to relinquish control to someone else?

        Not on your nelly. ;)

      • why awful? would be cool with a friend

      • Not to be too blunt about it, but I mentioned my reasoning above – If I am losing a fight & tagging is an option, there is no way that someone is taking over from me to either:
        a) take the glory
        or
        b) lose me the fight!

  6. That didn’t look like cyber subzero.

  7. I just can’t get on with Mortal Kombat. The staccato rhythm of the combat just kills it for me. A shame as I love the characters, lore, mechanics etc…
