Sammanfattning: NetherRealm Studios new Mortal Kombat is a re-imagining of the famed fighter series that began back in 1992 with the original Mortal Kombat. Created by Ed Boon and John Tobias, the series started off with an arcade fervor that lasted for a few iteratio...
Sammanfattning: Plainly called Mortal Kombat, the latest entry in the violent fighting game series is actually a reboot. Technically the ninth main-line entry in the series, it takes many cues from Street Fighter IV – pulling characters and gameplay from the ‘classic’...
