Mortal Kombat Returns for Xbox 360 and PS3
New Mortal Kombat E3 2010 teaser trailer and chuckling like I do every time I watch Eli Roth's Thanksgiving. Whoever put that together--in particular those last buzz-blade-whirring seconds--knew all the right buttons to press.
Note the hybrid perspective, a mix of 2D and 3D, sort of like Capcom's Street Fighter IV. Midway seems to agree with recent fighter fans that there's already plenty to juggle in the way of throws, blocks, and special moves without having to further guesstimate spatial possibilities in three fully realized dimensions. I tend to agree.
Then thank goodness Joe Lieberman and The National Coalition on Television Violence didn't succeed when it tried to frighten the public into thinking violent games like Mortal Kombat were "training early killers," all those years ago.
