Well, technically more like right in front of you. Assuming you&rsquo;re looking at Mortal Kombat&rsquo;s DLC catalogue, anyway, because that&rsquo;s the only way this gag is actually going to work. That&rsquo;s right, everybody&rsquo;s favourite teen-killer is back, again, this time in a video game. Is nowhere safe? This guy really gets with the times.<\/p>\n<p>The dream realm&rsquo;s resident glove fetishist is now available in downloadable form (MWAHAHA) on PS3 and Xbox 360, and tagged at $4.99 \/ 400 MSP respectively. If you&rsquo;ve previously purchased the Xbox Season Pass for the game, Krueger&rsquo;s the final Kombatant in the deal, while PS3 gamers can get him with Kenshi, Rain, and Skarlet in the warrior bundle.<\/p>\n<p>If his Fatality move isn&rsquo;t a great, gushing gout of blood from a hastily summoned bed, though, I&rsquo;m calling this one a total dud.<\/p>\n<p>If NetherRealm&rsquo;s serious about bringing in some 80s&rsquo; icons, who should be next? I&rsquo;d love to see Freddy go up against The Evil Dead&rsquo;s Ash, or maybe even Skeletor. That&rsquo;d be awesome.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Whatever you do, don\u2019t fall asleep<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":161,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_sma_x_autopost_status":"idle","_sma_x_autopost_error":"","_sma_x_post_id":"","_sma_x_attempts":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-13402","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-business"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/13402","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/161"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=13402"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/13402\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=13402"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=13402"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=13402"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
