Games blog: Mortal Kombat vs. DC Universe-the Joker's Fatality

I've talked to a few people who weren't too excited about Midway's upcoming fighting game for the PS3 and XBox 360, "Mortal Kombat vs. DC Universe", which introduces the magically-powered Mortal Kombat characters and universe into the world of the DC Comics characters. It stands to reason that if you're not a fighting games fan, you're not going to care too much about this. BUT if you are a fighting games fan (which I am) and you're even a casual fan of comic books (don't even need to address that!), then this one is looking more and more like it's worth a glance. Now, a concern/disappointment from a different quarter has arisen in terms of the games' violence--specifically, old time MK fans are disappointed because the upcoming game will be rated "T" for Teen, whereas other entries in the series have been rated "M" for adult. In other words, MK fans have reservations because they think the game won't be violent and gory ENOUGH.

Well, this may or may not have an influence on that opinion, but those with that opinion should check this video out from GameTrailers.com. Stick around for the end when they show off The Joker's fatality ... and THEN tell me the game isn't going to be violent enough. :)
