As an added bonus, check out the slide show Hanah made of Jorge and me playing the game. I think the pictures demonstrate the game's real strengths: much of Mortal Kombat's fun comes from sharing its the gross absurdity with friends. Fighting games, and Mortal Kombat in particular, are great spectator sports.
Some discussion starters:
- Mortal Kombat is one of those iconic games that most people have at least some familiarity with. What's your history with the series?
- How effectively does the latest Mortal Kombat cater to both fighting game veterans and newcomers?
- What does the future hold for Mortal Kombat and for the fighting genre in general?

A current GameStop employee here. I had no idea I wanted Mortal Kombat until our midnight release. Soul Caliber's usually my series, but this one...this one's good. I sincerely hope they support IT, rather than obscenely iterate. Thanks! Great talk.
