Being a gamer from way back I have come to truly see the harmony in the diversity of popularity in games over the decades... Yeah I said it, but I am not talking about some sort of strange metaphysical, 'can listen to the Earth's song type of thing'...

No, what I am talking about more directly has to do with having seen one generation of popular game turn in to the next... A great example of this is that when I first started  playing video games, the style that everyone seemed to shoot for was RPG/2D shooter games... And going in to the 90s,  it was competitive fighting video games and RPGs... ( I have to admit that I kind of lost some time in between finishing High School. and starting Hellinspace,) but since starting Hellinspace, it has become primarily first person shooter games.

So it was with some delight when I discovered the cross over game, 'Mortal Kombat Vs. The DC Universe' (2008)!

Published by: Midway Games, this awesome cross over game had characters such as: 'Superman', 'Batman', 'Green Lantern', 'Wonder Woman' and a bunch of other superheroes and villains from the DC Comic universe, as they battle against the likes of the classic video game characters: 'Scorpion', 'Sub-Zero', 'Kano' and a ton of other great characters from the classic video game series, 'Mortal Kombat'!

Now this game was developed for the XBox 360 as well as the Playstation 3... Unfortunately though, I haven't played the Playstation 3 version of this game yet, but I can tell you this about the XBox 360 version of this game... It has great graphics... Fun music... And well if you were a fan of both of these individual franchises before playing this game, then I think you will find it a lot of fun to play this as a cross over or just fighting one set of characters or the other!

The main problems with the, 'XBox 360' version of this game is that the controls are hard to learn, the fatalities are almost impossible to do, and after you beat it a few times, the game starts to get a little dull!

In the end though, the game was worth a once over, so give it a chance, it may not be the best game in the world, but it does have it's moments!
