Mortal Kombat vs The Console War

All war is bad - this is something on which everyone can agree. But the current console war? Without a doubt one of the most unpleasant, painful and needless conflicts in the history of our species. Every day thousands of fanboys suffer severe bruising to their ego, thanks to the heartless actions of someone who questioned the value of their precious games console. Earlier this year the "Which version of GTA IV is better?" flame war resulted in massive casualties for both the Republic of Xbox and the Empire of the Third PlayStation. And let us not forget those poor Nintendo fans who were caught up in the conflict, having been attracted by all the loud noises and pretty colours.

In comparison, the violence of the Mortal Kombat series seems decidedly tame. And in any case, who cares if Sub Zero rips out Nightwolf's spine? It's a swift, humane death - and in less than a minute, both fighters will be back on their feet and having fun again. By contrast, Console War fights drag on for weeks. Do you remember the trouble that flared up when that guy only gave Metal Gear Solid 4 an 8/10? Some people are still recovering in hospital...

Verdict: Mortal Kombat wins

This is an easy decision. After all, despite all the decapitations and bone-breaking, the Mortal Kombat games allow you to end a bout of combat with a Friendship celebration. Can you imagine a pair of opposing fanboys doing that? No, neither can we.
