The perennial favorite among many fans, Mortal Kombat II, has been listed among the preferred online purchasable games to beat the heat of visiting your local gaming store. The list was composed by Yahoo! Games and titled "Game Shopping from your Sofa". It features all three current generation systems, PS3, XBox 360 and Wii. The Playstation 3 games are located on the second page, and Mortal Kombat II appears at the bottom.

One of the original "video game nasties," it's a little amusing to think of Mortal Kombat II, somewhat tame by Grand Theft Auto standards, causing a nation of parents to fear for the integrity of their offspring. The culprit, of course, was the game's infamous "Fatality" moves, which saw, among other things, contestants being decapitated, frozen alive, or sliced in half. Nice. While Mortal Kombat II's shock value is largely gone, the solid beat-em-up gameplay retains its competitive edge.

Yahoo! Games scores MKII 3.5/5 and of course lists the game's price as $4.99. To view the entire list of games on all systems, click here.
