What the...?

[Warmonger]

I believe the apocalypse is here. And I'm not talking about no fruity blue robot wearing lipstick. None shall be speared.

[Veiled Malice]

Worst.

Idea.

EVAR.

I should point out that I hate Mortal Kombat, but this is just inexcusable.

[Barnum]

I am not a video game player, so I honestly have no dog in this fight, but I think most "cross over" ideas fall flat. "Worlds apart" should be kept . . . worlds apart. :D

[Dr Archeville]

Eh, no worse than Capcom vs. Marvel.

Hmm, the software here at works prevents me from veiwing this, so I must wait to form any sort of opnion. In turns of crossover games, I still want to create a game called NFL Sniper: "Take that, Tom Brady!" :D

[Barnum]

Eh, no worse than Capcom vs. Marvel.

I don't even know what a "Capcom" is. :oops:

[Shadowboxer]

I'm going to remain unimpressed until I see Sub-Zero use the Spine Rip on Captain Carrot. Or the Deep Freeze Uppercut.

[Dr Archeville]

I don't even know what a "Capcom" is. :oops:

A Japanese developer & publisher of video games. They're most famous for the Breath of Fire, Final Fight, Mega Man, Resident Evil, and Street Fighter franchises.

I like Mortal Kombat, even if I stopped playing it around when it got to "2". Sub-Zero spamming freeze - good times. Now, I have a chance to beat up insufferable DC heroes, and maybe even some villains. I like that idea, even if there's no chance I'll get it if it remains on PS3.

Eh, no worse than Capcom vs. Marvel.

I didn't really have a problem with that game. I'm not a big fighting game guy, but the whole thing just seemed to be played for fun - ridiculously oversized fighters, bright, eye-gouging colors, and patently absurd super attacks.

By contrast, they seem to be trying to go with a "gritty" feel for the polished turd that is Mortal Kombat by mixing it with the king of grit himself - Batman. I dunno about this crossover attempt. I can see it going down in flames worse than the later issues of Spawn. You know - after McFarlane lost his freaking mind and thought reinventing the main character's personality every other comic would be a good idea.

If we're doing crossovers, why not go with something different? A real west vs east comics brawl - Western Comic characters versus Manga characters. Who wouldn't tune in to see who would win between a match between Captain America and Naruto? Between Jean Grey and Major Kusinagi? Between Spider Man and an Evangelion?

... okay, bad match up.

But seriously, if they had this game, I would be all over it like a fat guy on an all you can eat buffet. And if they had Ranma "I never lose" Saotome as an unlockable character? (Dr A, take note. ) That would be the first time I will ever buy a collectors edition of any game. EVAR.
