CNN.com - New Mortal Kombat bloodier than ever
I asked for a Game Cube for Christmas in expectation of the new Zelda game to be released next year, as well as being able to play the new Metroid. This Mortal Kombat title also looks like it could be fun. As games get better and computing power increases, there's the potential for some extremely neat things to be created. For instance: according to the above linked CNN article, this game keeps track of injuries and makes them continue to bleed. It also let players leave tracks when they step in blood. Gruesome? Maybe. Realistic? Much more than the disapearing blood found in earlier versions. Thing of games like Quake: what if after you were shot you dripped blood and the AI used it to track you? Now that would be hardcore.
