The relationship between games and movies has always been a tense one. There's something almost violently alchemical about the way the two media usually react to each other. It's like getting hit by a yellow, piss-soaked snowball. Either element can be unpleasant enough on its own, but put them both together and something far more horrible happens. Games of movies, movies of games, they're both usually about as much fun as the death of a clown at a ten year-old's birthday party. But still we ... » Read More

1UP Editor, Andrew Pfister explains in his blog post why they are late with the review of Mortal Kombat Armageddon for Wii:

Because Midway didn't send the game to us for review. Apparently there were some bruised egos over there. Or a singular bruised ego. We're not exactly sure. Someone felt left out when Milky talked about top-tier fighting games in some preview a while back and neglected to mention MK, and EGM didn't score previous Mortal Kombat games as high as some of our competitors did. So Midway has decided to not send us review code at all as some sort of punishment. The message? "Give us better scores, or we won't support you."

Previous versions of Mortal Kombat: Armageddon allowed players to face-off online, but the Wii version doesn't. Why? Midway points the finger at Nintendo. "Obviously we had online on other platforms so it wasn't going to be a technology challenge for us," said the game's producer, Shaun Himmerick, to advancedmn.com. "Nintendo didn't have their online system ready for us when we would have needed to implement it," he continued. Nintendo must have been hogging the online tools for themselves ... » Read More

Mortal Kombat creator Ed Boon has explained that his next game is "going to be a real serious Mortal Kombat" in a recent interview. Speaking about what's coming after Armageddon with us earlier in the week, he said the new title will be "a lot more realistic-looking... we're not going to joke around in this one, it's not going to be like jokes." It suggests a more edgy style for the next Mortal Kombat game, Boon reaffirming that it'll be "a lot grittier, dirtier" than previous titles in the ... » Read More

If Mortal Kombat has taught us anything, it's that you should cherish the fleeting time you and your head have together. And what better way to show your noggin how much you appreciate it by giving it an eyeful of the special, MK brand of gore that has delighted parents and moral crusaders for over a ... » Read More

Never, ever trust a smiling man. For example, Mortal Kombat creator Ed Boon looks like the nicest guy in the world. And in fact, he might be the nicest guy in this world. However, once you step into the world of Mortal Kombat - Ed's world - this nice man wants to literally beat you into a state of half-consciousness and then systematically dismember you. And we've got the video to show how he's going to do it. Just bang on that Movies tab above and look for "MK: Armageddon - controls 01-31-07" ... » Read More

It's hard to imagine a world where seven poorly animated, grisly voiced combatants could stir a nation into a videogame violence feeding frenzy. Since that original Mortal Kombat, we've ripped out hearts, beaten people to death with their own legs and uppercutted punk asses into whirling, toothy blades of steel - and not one game has ever been pulled from the shelves like congress was threatening 13 years ago. To celebrate this victory in the face of such powerful ignorance, we've compiled ... » Read More

For those concerned about Wii's ability to offer brutal, soulless acts of violence, it's exciting news to hear that Mortal Kombat: Armageddon is heading to the tiny console sometime during the first quarter of 2007. Publisher Midway made the announcement today (okay, technically tomorrow, but we got it early and exclusively for being so "kombative") along with several other tidbits about the PS2 Premium Pack, which you can read about right here. The first thing we want to know is, will ... » Read More
