Mortal Kombat: Armageddon

Mortal Kombat Armageddon was released almost 4 years ago now, on May 29, 2007 for the Wii. The game had a MSRP of $49.99 when it first released, and was rated Mature by the ESRB, with Blood and Gore, Intense Violence listed as content for parents to be aware of. Mortal Kombat Armageddon was developed by Just Games Interactive(now Kung Fu Factory), and published by Midway Games(now bankrupt/out-of-business). How many hours have Wii owners reported, possibly attempting fatalities, playing Mortal Kombat Armageddon with 1,421 days of game-play reported, before Mortal Kombat's release this past Tuesday on the PS3 and Xbox 360? Let's take a look!, says CoffeewithGames in the intro.

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...

Is it 1994 all over again, because Mortal Kombat seems more popular in the last three days than it’s been in the last 10 years. Today we saw the trailer for the next MK game, which looks to return the serious to the comical violence of old. And while that’s kept us in a blood-soaked tizzy, the excitement really began with this video, cryptically released on YouTube as Mortal Kombat Rebirth two days ago. Slowly but surely the truth trickled out on what exactly this was, but only now has film site Collider gotten the whole story from the video’s director, Kevin Tancharoen...

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

Midway has just released a free Fatalities PDF list from the just released Mortal Kombat: Armageddon for the Nintendo Wii. The 3 megabyte PDF features 4 pages of every single fatality from the game, print out and keep it handy while playing.

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.

After much anticipation, the Nintendo Wii version of Mortal Kombat Armageddon has been released in North America. The game features a whole new control scheme, a revamped Endurance mode and a new fighter: Female Khameleon.

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

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
