9. Mortal Kombat X
This long-anticipated game is gaining steam as we find out more and more confirmed characters. It's hard to imagine the fighting genre without the Mortal Kombat series. Mortal Kombat has come a long way since the launch of the first game. It is based more on strategy and violence, rather than just straight violence. Ed Boon has done a great job revamping the series with the previous installment and I can't wait to see what he has in store for Mortal Kombat X.
