It has occasionally felt like a dirty secret that Mortal Kombat 9 was one of my favourite games of last year. But there it is. It hit just the right blend of punchy violence, imaginative special moves and accessibility, and it got me invested in the (silly) Mortal Kombat universe and its (ridiculous) characters all over again.
Yesterday’s confirmation of a Mortal Kombat game for Sony’s upcoming handheld didn’t offer much in the way of details. There was cover art and not much more. Boo.
