Mortal Kombat is another good one. I should have touched on that in my post.
Definitely my favorite fighting game this year, and I was a big fan of Marvel vs Capcom
2. I got a little burned out after a few weeks of
continuous play though. I grew tired of playing as Smoke, and although I liked playing as Katana, I have a weird thing about playing as girls in video-games. I'm not sexist by any means, I just can't get immersed!
