If you've already played Mortal Kombat Armageddon, you might be wondering why you should try the Wii version, which ships today. For one thing, it has a brand new character, Female Khameleon. Not enough? Ok, how about a deeply enhanced Endurance Mode? Yeah, that wouldn't do it for me, either. Well, there's Motor Kombat mode, where you...drive...around...actually, let's just forget that exists and move on.

The real draw of the Wii version is the motion-sensitive combat controls. The control scheme has been completely overhauled to take advantage of the Wiimote/Nunchuk combo, which could make the fatalities extra specially fun. Hmm...one wonders what the proper motion for ripping out a spine is...

Armageddon features more than 60 fighters from the entire Kombat line, in addition to the Kreate-a-Fighter and Kreate-a-Fatality modes. First one to make a character based on Kohler (come on, his name even starts with K) wins. Ready....go!
