So Mortal Kombat is gracing our screens once again it looks like. With this in mind, I was able to locate a review of the latest incarnation of the game that I thought might be fun to share with you.

Personally, I have not been much of a Mortal Kombat fan since it was a hot game in the arcades from my childhood. Today, it feels like a dead horse. This is just my feelings on it, that’s all. On another note, What is with ABC News reviewing games? As I read through the review, I was humored at the fact that ABC News even bothered with it at all. Who would have thought?

Few video games have outraged anti-violence advocates like “Mortal Kombat,” which debuted in the arcades more than a decade ago. The latest version, “Mortal Kombat: Deception,” continues the grisly tradition while adding several new modes you wouldn’t expect in a fighting game, including you read it right “Chess Kombat.”

I’m willing to bet that chess master Garry Kasparov hasn’t played anything like this before. There are all the usual pieces you’d expect on the board, but strategy will only get you so far.

Once the pieces meet, you still have to fight in a showdown to secure the win. And let’s not forget the traps you can set, which will kill your enemy instantly, or the spells used to heal or teleport your pieces.
