Winner: Mortal Kombat

Mortal Kombat was a highly anticipated title, and not just to me apparently. A lot more people showed up for MK this time around, and the game did not disappoint. Sure, Mortal Kombat vs. DC Universe made a lot of changes to what MK was doing at that point, and some of that still carried over to this newest Mortal Kombat game. Still, this title finally brought the series back to 2D and made projectiles matter again.

It wasn't just the overdone, ridiculous fatalities, or the hefty load of modes available to play that won me over, but just how much the game played like the older 2D games from the past. In addition, every character that had ever truly mattered was included in some form or another with multiple costumes (Kostumes?) and awesome looking moves. I suppose my only complaint would be the lack of a simple way to fight one on one with the computer in a versus mode, but that didn't stop me from unlocking nearly everything and seeing nearly everything there was in Mortal Kombat.
