Mortal Kombat (XB360/PS3)

I always loved playing the Mortal Kombat fighters when I was younger. It makes me very happy to see Sektor back and Teleport Uppercutting shit. But the general feel of it has a "take the classic elements of Mortal Kombat and make a new game" vibe to it. Nothing is really confirmed about the story (other than it will apparently be the deepest storyline in fighting game history), but it just sort of seems like a remake/reboot as many have predicted.

I'm okay with that, as it'd be the first time the series has gone "back to roots" with its main fighting line. Also, judging by some of the roster inclusions (Reptile, Mileena, Sektor) they'll be paying a bit of lip service to the fans this time around. Often they just throw shit at a wall and see what sticks. I think Warner Bros. purchasing the series has gotten them to step-up and deliver something that people actually want to play -- although they are defintely weary (and rightfull so, admittedly) about just how much faith they place in the renewed franchise. Keep an eye on this title, however.

Scorpion is pretty much a given, by the way. No one should be too concerned about him not being in the trailer.
