It Feels so Wrong, But Kould it be Right?

Teen-Friendly Mortal Kombat: “In a recent Gamastura story, the game’s designer Paulo Garcia discusses the latest iteration of the Mortal Kombat series and some of the changes being put into place for the sake of a Teen rating. DC’s comics are geared toward all ages, after all — can’t have the younger generation seeing their favorite characters doing anything unseemly. That means nixing dismemberment, deleting hallmark fatalities and making sure classic DC heroes like Batman can’t kill at all.”

I still struggle with the concept of old-school Mortal Kombat. Anyone else out there who used to love MK? How do you feel about it now?
