The Mortal Kombat Armageddon is a game not to be missed. This according to reviewers who claim that Wii gamers can now have a whole new gaming experience that can be described as nothing less than outstanding.

    Overall, since the Mortal Kombat series is still looking rather rough even at this point, MK: Armageddon is by no means a flawless victory. With sheer fun and innovation, however, it does win by Fatality. Read more

    While Guitar Hero World Tour might be a little rough around the edges, it is still a solid Guitar Hero game. The vocals may need a little work, and Neversoft may need to be a bit more conservative when it comes to charting guitar parts, but on the whole there’s enough here to like. If you’ve never bought a band game before, you can do a lot worse than this. Read more

    Ultimately, all of Guitar Hero World Tour’s components come together extremely well. The refined gameplay is backed up by terrific and sturdy instruments as well as a fantastic song list. The innovative gameplay additions, as well as the Music Studio, propel World Tour to superstardom. It’s easily the best music game available. Read more

    Guitar Hero: World Tour has a few kinks to work out, just as the first Rock Band did last year. But it's still a worthy contender of Harmonix's new offspring and is also worthy of being added to your game collection. Read more

    . After all, it’s a decent fighting game, contains everything MK fans are expecting, and even offers a couple of extra (ugh) mini-games. It just isn’t revolutionary in any way. Nothing about it grabbed me by the eyeballs and shook me around until my head caved in. When they make the game that does that, you can bet that I’ll be there with bloodlust in my heart. Read more

    MKA is a welcome addition to the Mortal Kombat Franchise. Having over 60 characters to choose from. There is a character for everyone's liking in the game, so you can play as your favourite character and beat the hell out of everything in the game. If you get bored of fighting, you can have a go on the Motor Kombat. Choose from 10 characters and race along 5 different tracks. Using the Wii remote on MKA does take some getting use too. But it features a mode where you can... Read more

    Mortal Kombat Armageddon is the latest and hopefully the last 1 on 1 Mortal Kombat fighting game. Every character from every Mortal Kombat game is here. The downside to this is that there are no more character specific fatalities. Now all the characters preform the same basic finishing moves. The main attraction for this game is the character creation. Even though you can create your own character you must play through the main game to earn enough money. The main game is... Read more

    My 12 year old daughter received this for Christmas yesterday, and she's hooked on it! Has a nice selection of music from a variety of eras (Band On The Run, from 1973, to Linkin Park 2007) She's using a generic wireless guitar controller, which seems to be working very well with this game. She also received Beatles Rock Band for Christmas, but this is the game she keeps going back to over and over. There's a couple of differences I would've liked to have seen in it --...
