Birth of a legend...

I suffered through this tripe. So humor me. Let me be at peace with writing an inanely, insanely long pointless review.
[Note: This is a re-review. The original review I wrote three years ago does not do this game justice. Sit back, relax and enjoy the slough.] It was a Wednesday night. I had Eduoard Lalo's Cello Concerto in D minor bl... Read Full Review

As close to the arcade as it got, and still failed.
Don't get me wrong, MK is one of the greatest fighting games of all time, I love it, always have, always will, but the score I give is aimed particularly at this release. The Sega CD version was supposed to be "best home... Read Full Review

You don't play Mortal Kombat, it plays you.
