Mortal Kombat<\/em> was one of the most critical elements of 1990s pop culture and the video game franchise continues to recruit a fan base around the digital world. Unveiled to the world in<\/p>\n

1992, Mortal Kombat<\/em> was the first video game to digitize live actors as its characters instead of two-dimensional, pixilated cartoon characters.<\/p>\n

Throughout the years, the successful and critically-acclaimed fighting franchise has spawned 13 video games, three films, and two television series\u2019, and a short-lived web series.<\/p>\n

Now Mortal Kombat<\/em> has gotten its latest update with what many video game critics call, \u201cone of the most anticipated games of 2011\u201d.<\/p>\n

Mortal Kombat<\/em> (2011), despite popular misconceptions, is neither a remake of the original nor a reboot of the franchise. Difficult to describe, it has the look and feel of a sequel, but the clever storytelling encompasses the events of the first four major games (Mortal Kombat<\/em>, Mortal Kombat II<\/em>, Mortal Kombat 3<\/em>, and Mortal Kombat: Armageddon<\/em>) into a time-warped setting of nostalgic Mortal Kombat<\/em> moments.<\/p>\n

The game includes 35 characters, which significantly diminishes the chance of fans being disappointed because their favorite characters aren\u2019t included.<\/p>\n

The story structure is top-notch in the latest Mortal Kombat<\/em> installment. Advanced graphics make the characters and carnage much more real than anything ever seen in past Mortal Kombat<\/em> games.<\/p>\n

At times, the game can get frustrating with difficult boss battles and not being able to skip or pause cut scenes.<\/p>\n

But Mortal Kombat<\/em> (2011) is a superb presentation of massacre and fatalities. Players will not be able to put down their controllers and stomachs will either be toughened or annihilated by the bloody, high-definition slaughtering.<\/p>\n

Buy the game.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
