If you had told me in January, that by mid-May, my favorite game of 2011 was going to be the new Mortal Kombat, I would've laughed and laughed.
It's like this perfect blend of hokey nostalgia, interesting (for a fighting game) story, solid gameplay, and great graphics/sound.
If the same team gets to do MK2/10/whatever it'll be called, I hope they take their time. I don't want to see a sequel until late 2012 or early 2013.
