I was always a big Mortal Kombat fan growing up, everybody was. Whoever wasn't was lame. My favorite character was always Sub-Zero. I loved Sub-Zero and my brother, he always loved Scorpion.

For this game, I just wished they had every character. They only had maybe 8-10 for each and then they didn't even have like the panther guy [Ed note: Wildcat]. I was kind of bummed about that.

I mean they had Batman and all, but Catwoman? C'mon! The best character in that game, believe it or not, is The Joker because he has the best gadgets. He had the bomb, the handshake...it was an updated Joker, but he had the purple jacket and everything. He was the funniest and best. I also never knew about Captain Marvel--I thought he was Flash at first. He's awesome, but I never knew him as a kid. Playing with him was a first for me.

The game was fun, it was cool, but they need to make it a little easier to do the finishing moves. Like some of the good finishing moves are hard with the button combos. All the basic moves are the same--like down, back, forth, B is like a snowball move--I got those down.

I think it looks more realistic, but ain't nothing like the old school game when you first got it. Now, as life goes on, technology is getting better and better. This one is cool though--now they show scratches in your uniform when you really get beat up. They need to come out with a new game and add in Wolverine and the X-Men, Spiderman, have all the Marvel guys in one. They have the Marvel Super Heroes vs. Street Fighter--if you can get all four of them involved [Marvel, DC, Street Fighter, and Mortal Kombat] that would be the best game EVER! Somebody needs them to get together, join and unite forces and that would be crazy! I could play that all night.

Left 4 Dead
Hordes of zombies + unlimited ammo = hours of fun. Add to the tried-and-true formula an intelligent AI Director that amps up or scales down the difficulty level depending on the skill of the player and great multiplayer co-op mode and you have a great game that guarantees plenty of replays.

Prince of Persia
Not a sequel to the long-running series, but a complete reboot, Prince of Persia reloads the jumping, climbing, wall-running game with a gorgeous animated look that gives the feeling of watching a cartoon more than videogame. More weapons and learned skills would've made it better.

Street Fighter IV
Ha-dou-ken! Celebrate two decades (and 200-odd throwaway "sequels") of one-on-one brawls with a sweeping upgrade that kicks it old-school. Featuring faces familiar (Ken, Ryu, Blanka, etc.) and new (El Fuerte and Crimson Viper), both vets and neophytes will dig pummeling foes using special moves, combos and "Focus" counterattacks.
