I love Mortal Kombat! It's one of my favorite fighting games of all times. I was introduced to the series through Mortal Kombat II for the Sega Genesis. Being the little boy that I was I fell in love with the ninjas pretty early on. I just love how the laziest redesigns ever led to some of the more interesting and popular characters of the franchise. My brother would use Sub-Zero a lot and I liked using Reptile. Noob Saibot would always come in and kick my ass in that game, however he quickly became my chosen favorite when I moved on to Mortal Kombat Trilogy. All the different characters and enemies in this game are just so fascinating to me. I love Shao Kahn.

Goro, Kintaro & Sheeva

So far I played MK, MK II, MK 3, MK T, Sub-Zero Mythologies, MK 4 (to my dismay), Deadly Alliance, Deception, Shaolin Monks and the reboot. While I can understand why people wouldn't like them, I liked where they took the story from DA on out. The alliance of Shang Tsung and Quan Chi, taking out Shao Kahn, the death of Liu Kang, the introduction of the Dragon King Onaga and the deceived Shujinko, Raiden finally snapping and going evil, all hell breaking loose in Mortal Kombat Armageddon and the clever way they rebooted the franchise in the new Mortal Kombat game trying to correct the mistakes of the past. I thought it was some of their best stuff story wise and now they seem to have found the perfect balance between classic 2D Mortal Kombat and 3D in the new game that I hope they keep up with.
