From Awesomenauts‘ foray into the multiplayer online battle arena (MOBA) genre to Sniper Elite V2‘s re-invigoration of the tactical shooter, April’s concluding week is poised to deliver a number of remarkable titles. Whether you’re a player with a proclivity to rip out spleens while riding the bus, or merely a PC gamer yearning for a MMO that’s brimming with nuanced combat, new releases ranging from Mortal Kombat to Tera are in store.
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
I can wait for Max Payne 3.
I didn't play the Sniper Elite V2 demo. I guess I need to now.
Is TERA free to play or monthly?
Awesomenauts. Free. PS+ is a damn good service. Freebies are good.
Not all that much this week. No 3DS games, again?
