Mortal Kombat: Armageddon

Armageddon for the Wii may have arrived late, but it was well worth the wait. The new motion-controls - a feature we cringed at when first announced - unexpectedly make the game that much more enjoyable. Admittedly, it's a shame that the Wii version doesn't boast more exclusive content.
