GamingUnion.net recently released the 10th episode of The Good, The Bad, and the Fugly:
"April comes to a close, and it closes on a low key note! The new episode of GBF is here and we give the quick rundown of titles that we reviewed in the last week. Niki and Brian will give you the game reviews from April 23 - 29, 2011.
Not everyone wants to read full reviews for every game. We remedy that by doing short 1 minute reviews for each game that we've most recently played. Get all the information you need on a game just by watching this weekly video series! If you like what you see in a game, check out our full review of the title.
This episode, we reviewed 3 games: Mortal Kombat, Raving Rabbids: Travel in Time, and Steel Diver. The Good, The Bad, and The Fugly is a video series from GamingUnion.net and has a weekly release schedule."
Trevor Walker said: Fighting games have always been able to simultaneously experiment and innovate while staying true to their roots in the best of ways. Mechanics change, crossovers take place, and evolution occurs. One of the best examples of all three can be seen in the coveted guest character.
The fighting genre is full of mini-games, from Street Fighter's car destruction to Tekken Ball. Here's the best Mortal Kombat mini games.
Cultured Vultures: We've gone to the trouble of ranking the Mortal Kombat games across the series' history. Special Forces is clearly number one.
My favorite is always going to be Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3. I know some people didn't like the addition of the run button. But, man that game is burned into my memory from childhood, lol.
That's the one I played the most as a kid. Fun times gaming on my Sega Genesis, the memories
MK2 will always be the best in the series. Been playing a lot of MK1 lately though. Definitely enjoying it more than any other NRS era MK game.
I will always have a special place in my memory for MK 1 and 2. You had to be there during that era at the arcades. Martial arts tournament fighting movies were still popular, and MK 1 was exciting. Real life motion captured characters done well (unlike Pit Fighter). A cast of characters we all liked like Bruce Lee(Lui Kang), Van Damme(Johnny Cage), the Lightning god(Raiden) from Big Trouble in Little China, and Ninjas, gotta have Ninjas. Goro was menacing as hell. The MK arcade had some of the best speakers similar to Killer Instinct as you could hear the loud crisp and bassy sound that was distinctly different than other arcades. MK 2 improved greatly on the controls and fighting mechanics
Now we just needs PSN to get back up for some online brutality!
Fatality! I'm surprised MK turned out so well.
I was disappointed in Raving Rabbids since I loved the TV party series. Oh well, maybe next time.
the story in mk is how stories should be done for fighting games..
not that bs cooky cutter story, clipse rather, that street fighter and many other fighters have..
netherrealms thank you! you put me back on i gave up on fighting games cause of the story and they never offer much to do offline..
thank you! can you bring back mytholigies again? i know it wasnt well recieved but i loved it and wish fighting games can go in that direction. i want to unlock the move then master it. kon quest was great too challenge tower reminds me of it at some points..
