Mortal Kombat: Armageddon

Do you see that? DO YOU SEE IT?!

That my friends, is Mortal Kombat: Armageddon, and it is glorious return to the PS2 and Xbox for the series, for the final time. 62 characters (four needing unlocked) + Kreated Fighters. Aerial Kombat is returned to the series for the first time since the game went 3D. Konquest mode has recieved a huge overhaul since it's inception in the last game (Deception) and is overall a much more fun and rewarding experience. It feels more like a platformer, and who doesn't love platformers with a crapload of blood and gore? MK:A gets a 4/5.

"Man, I see in fight club the strongest and smartest men who've ever lived. I see all this potential, and I see us squandering it. God damn it, an entire generation pumping gas, waiting tables; slaves with white collars. Advertising has us chasing cars and clothes, working jobs we hate so we can buy shit we don't need. We're the middle children of history, man. No purpose or place. We have no Great War. No Great Depression. Our Great War's a spiritual war... our Great Depression is our lives. We've all been raised on television to believe that one day we'd all be millionaires, and movie gods, and rock stars. But we won't. And we're slowly learning that fact. And we're very, very pissed off."
