Mortal Kombat VS DC Universe

Warner Bros. was one of the few publishers whose games never made it to India (officially), but thanks to E-xpress Interactive, they now will. This means Warners upcoming catalogue for 2011 that consists of F.E.A.R. 3, Batman: Arkham City and Mortal Kombat among others will now hit stores across the country.

Spencer Halpin, the director of 2009 documentary Moral Kombat, took a lot of flak from gamers for interviewing family values crusaders like Jack Thompson and David Walsh alongside industry representatives such as American McGee and Oddworld Inhabitants' Lorne Lanning. For a long time the ire stemmed only from the widely circulated trailer, but now the entire movie's available for free streaming for you to make up your own mind...

Earlier this week we posted some mighty impressive photographs of Tanya “MsTooney” Jordan, a competitive athlete who just won the Ms Fitness California 2010 competition. Jordan is a self-proclaimed geek. For her, videogames and cosplay go hand-in-hand with physical training. As an animator and illustrator, she is proficient in the art of Photoshop and Flash - and she is more than proficient in the exquisite art of kicking ass.

Dressed in a sharp Kitana outfit, Jordan crushed the competition with a pole routine that incorporated gymnastic and martial arts moves. Check out our exclusive video of Jordan’s sensational pole routine, and stick around for a quick interview with the lovely and deadly fitness champion…

We get a lot of emails. Most of the time, they’re press releases for new trailers, screenshots, release dates, and iPhone games we’ll never play.

Michael McWhertor of Kotaku writes: Mortal Kombat Vs. DC Universe's roster of kombatants was missing some key names on both sides. That was something series co-creator Ed Boon and the MK team had hoped to address with downloadable content, which never happened.

DC character that was planned for release, Quan Chi, first introduced in Mortal Kombat 4. The MK team lead released a render of the Mortal Kombat character via his Twitter today.

NowGamer: Warner Bros. Interactive is set to complete the acquisition of troubled Midway Games, but is it the last hurrah of an outmoded publisher? Warner Bros. was the sole bidder for the majority of Midway's assets, including its Chicago and Seattle studios and the ubiquitous Mortal Kombat franchise. The $33 million sale has since been approved by a court hearing, while Midway's Newcastle and San Diego studios, which were not included in the deal along with a number of ageing sports titles, are set to close in the next 60 days if a buyer doesn't come forward. The question is will gamers really care? The company was huge in the eighties, producing endless fun via its arcade division – but with the death of coin-ops, Midway has become something of a dinosaur, still relying on it's biggest franchise, Mortal Kombat.

The publisher of one of the world's most famous fighting game series is hoping to hold on to Mortal Kombat, despite what people inferred from a recent Chapter 11 filing. Yesterday, MTV Multiplayer readers voted for Capcom to buy the rights for Mortal Kombat from financially embattled publisher Midway. They did this in reaction to recently released documents that identified the sale of the MK as a possible goal of the company's Chapter 11 bankruptcy. But a Midway spokesperson has told MTV Multiplayer that the company would prefer to hang on to the series.
