Behold, the newest video for Mortal Kombat vs. DC Universe. This new clip shows off some good old fashioned finishing moves, as The Green Lantern, Raiden and The Flash perform their Fatalities -- or rather, in the case of the DC superheroes, their Heroic Brutalities.
As you might expect, the violence is toned down from previous Mortal Kombat games, but they're still pretty neat. The lack of gore should help to encourage more creative finishers, and if they're all as cool as The Flash's, then I'll be satisifed despite the reduced blood levels.
Jim Sterling serves as reviews editor for Destructoid.com, head of the Podtoid podcast, and produces a number of news stories, original features, one-of-a-kind videos. With his passionate argumentative style, controversial opinions, harsh delivery, and dedication to brutal honesty Sterling is a name that you can't help but recognize.

This game "looks" cool, but so have the other MK's. They inevitably suck. Why? Because Midway, despite sticking it to the man throughout the 90's and making games they believed to be awesome and fun, have now catered to an audience.
They need to stop and start thinking outside the box like they used to.
really man? I couldn't stand those kreate-a-fatalities from armageddon.
The whole novelty of Mortal Kombat for me has always been, like Demtor said, just sitting back and watching some really creative and fucking brutal fatalities just happen.
I didn't like having to anxiously sweat and mash buttons AS the fatality was happening. It was a whole lot sweeter when you would just input some quick button presses and watch shit like Smoke drop a bunch of bombs and blow up the entire fuckin planet, or Kano rip someones fucking skeleton out of their mouth.
But thats just me.
thatd be a rad FRIENDSHIP
fuck yeah, i hope they bring those back.
they fucking have to, if only to be the saving grace of the lack of blood
That's... so... disappointing.
