Wow! That sure is a lot to digest, but hey, the more the merrier, right? Fans have been impatiently waiting for characters like Rain and Mileena to join the fray, and now Rambo is making his way to the tournament, too! Somehow, the Mortal Kombat franchise keeps finding fun and exciting ways to up their game, and it's all for the players. Well, the players and a whole lot cash in DLC transactions and re-releases of the original game. Be that as it may, Rambo is sure to feel right at home alongside other downloadable characters like Robocop, Spawn, and Arnold Schwarzenegger's Terminator T-800. I can already picture fights between Stallone and Schwarzenegger becoming a thing on YouTube, and honestly, I've no idea who will walk away from the fight with their life intact.
