Tomb Raider. Doom. Mortal Kombat. Max Payne. It seems like most major franchises get their own game-to-movie treatment at some point in their lifetime. Is this a good thing? Leviathyn.com's Cassidee Moser says no.
The latest Mortal Kombat was released last year and the game was nothing short of amazing. Mortal Kombat had really fallen on dark times before this semi-reboot, Mortal Kombat Gold comes to mind. Other fighting games such as Marvel vs. Capcom and Street Fighter could learn from MK’s success. MK brings a lot of good features to the fighting game world such as an interesting single player game, decent online play, more content, and other ideas which might reach people outside their target audie...
"PushStartSelect: "Some of you might not know, but along with writing here at PushStartSelect I also have my own comic book on indie shelves. While I write it, I am constantly surrounded by absolutely amazing artists to help make things complete. They have taught me things and shown off other things, but lately they seem to be enjoying taking their art to video games. I saw some posts of some amazing pictures and I couldn’t help but to ask them if they can share it with you guys. Well they sai..."

Gamers have entered another golden age of fighting games much like the early 90s. With the recent releases of Mortal Kombat, SF IV, and Marvel vs Capcom 3 fighting games are on the upward swing. Developers and publishers need to take notice, this is the perfect time to release another Power Stone game, Darkstalkers 4, or the perfection cross over game featuring characters from Dead or Alive
"Recently Street Fighter producer Yoshinori Ono explained to gamers why we have yet to see a crossover event between the popular fighting game series Mortal Kombat and Street Fighter. Both of these franchises have been around for a long time and dominate the same part of the video game market. With recent additions to both of the gaming series that were well-received (Street Fighter 4 and Mortal Kombat 9) it seems like the right time to bring the two together. But why haven’t we seen these two..."
So, I guess Freddy Krueger is going to be joining the Mortal Kombat cast on August 9th. Can I be the first to say . . . er what? This is easily one of the strangest character film-to-game adaptations yet.
"It’s time to continue rolling out the Mortal Kombat DLC, this time a new ninja enters the tournament under Shao Kahn’s banner. Rain seems to have the ability to manipulate water and even a little bit of lightning, looks like Raiden has some competition. Rain has just recieved a new vignette character video."
"He never meant to hurt you, he never meant to cause you any pain, he only wanted to see you laughing, and he only wanted to see you laughing in the purple rain. Yes our favorite purple sorcerer ninja is coming back as the third downloadable character for Mortal Kombat, no not Prince.

It seems that Ed Boon has slipped up and accidentally revealed the fact that the next Mortal Kombat game is in development. When ask about some upcoming DLC, Boon replied...
"I'm honestly not sure if its another girl playing Jade or if it is in fact Diacita playing both roles. Either way, this artist manages to bring out the most of this gory fighting game character."
"Despite being significantly visually impaired, the latest combatant to join the Mortal Kombat crew is a formidable entity. You may recognise him, and his trademark Kinetic moves, from previous incarnations in the series, but Kenshi was left out at the sidelines when this year's Mortal Kombat reboot shipped. Never fear though as the blind warrior is striking back as he's arriving, as of today, as a downloadable character."
"Can't wait to get fabulous? Well NetherRealm Studios is releasing more costume packs for their game Mortal Kombat. Best part about this pack? It’s free. Kombat Compatibility Pack #2 will be available for free on July 5th, 2011 and includes retro costumes for Noob and Smoke."

"As a gay gamer, I am not immune to the sex appeal of video game characters: in fact, I celebrate it. Even as a young kid, I can remember being attracted to the characters in my video games, using my imagination to fill in the pixels, so to speak.

Explores the easter eggs and hidden secrets found in the latest Mortal Kombat including Shao Kahn's harem of salve girls, the changes to the Mortal Kombat canon, awesome alternate costumes, sadistic Achievements and a surprise for Australia.
"Mortal Kombat has always been a series defined by violence. Ever since it first cropped up on the gaming radar many eons ago, the franchise has been forever associated with bloods, guts and - wherever possible - the dismembering of limbs. The latest iteration of the series is no different, still buried in a gory pile of guts and broken bones, but this time around an admirable and above all fun fighting game lies under the thick pool of congealed blood. This is easily the best Mortal Kombat in..."
"When Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment announced that the Mortal Kombat series would leave behind the gore-free, comic book-infused nonsense of MK vs. DC Universe, the whole world cheered."

All that and more on this edition of GameZone’s Weekly Wrap-Up."
"The original Mortal Kombat in 1992 is probably the first M rated game to be released on a console that stirred up controversy. The graphic violence of the 16bit fighter led in part to the creation of the ESRB. The last couple of games had seemed like the series wasn’t moving forward, especially with its release of Mortal Kombat vs DC which had been rated T for Teen. It’s almost 20 years since the original game and it has finally gotten a true sequel to the classics which dare I say might be t..."
Default Prime writer Kyree Leary goes from Earth to Outworld and lives to tell the tale. Did NetherRealm bring old-school glory back to the franchise or does it continue spinning out of control?
Gamers can save money by buying smart. Here are some of this week's promotions and discounts on Xbox 360 stuff from around the internet, including $20 off Mortal Kombat from Toys R' Us and a headset for just a few bucks at Amazon.
"For years, the Mortal Kombat series has captivated fans with its brutal gameplay, memorable cast, and over-the-top gore. A favorite among retro gamers, the fighting franchise has carved a legacy in the genre by distancing itself from its cartoony peers and providing darker undertones and intense violence. For some time, the series was headed in a more contemporary direction, offering 3D fighting gameplay and even mixing in with the DC Universe. Mortal Kombat, the ninth entry in the series, re..."

We've been announcing our announcement for so darn long, I was beginning to think I was re-living the Brett Favre saga all over again...

"Today we celebrate our one year podcasting anniversary! (53 weeks is a year right?) The gang’s all here to say a fond farewell to our Pathost Pat, who is abandoning video games to move on to an exciting new entertainment medium called cinema.

"Mortal Kombat is finally here – rejoice! It isn’t enough that we’ve posted our full review for you to check out (we love it, that’s about the size of it), but we’ve decided to spoil you a little bit and talk about our ten favorite – and disgustingly bloody – fatalities in the game. Now, if you don’t want to know what they are, we advise that you STOP READING NOW. And we won’t break down how to do them, that part you’ll just have to find out for yourself. Now go enjoy and remember, killing you..."
"I've had time with both the PS3 and 360 versions and the controller for the 360 is not cut out for MK. Using the thumb sticks often results in unwanted jumping and ducking, and the D-Pad feels rather unwieldy for those intense battles. PS3 controller faired far better in the handing department."
In terms of characters, you aren't going to find anything new here. It's more about all of your favorites, and not-so-favorites, coming back to fight for the ultimate prize. This really shouldn't disappoint anyone though. Most of us love using our old favorites anyway, right?

The Mortal Kombat series is trying to reclaim its crown as the dominant fighting genre game. Check out theGamerBuzz's full review to see if it succeeds in its attempt.
The thing that makes Mortal Kombat fighting unique is it's fatality scene where spines are ripped, blood gushes out of head ripped necks, and the earth being blown up by Smoke(>>). I know I love watching those after a hard won battle. Well, if you love it too you definitely will love this 20 minute video of all the fatalities in every single Mortal Kombat game (except Mortal Kombat vs. DC Universe and the 2011 MK).
There was a time when we were expecting to have an exclusive character for the most recent Mortal Kombat on Xbox 360. Today, the developers speak about why that never happened and who was discussed as a possibility. Check out the full story.
"The blood soaked saga has spanned for almost 20 years, and has gotten increasingly more complex with each instalment, so the 2011 edition of Mortal Kombat wipes the slate clean with a interesting twist. The corpses of near every major fighter in the tournaments history lay strewn in pieces across a battlefield, and Earth's only hope for survival Raiden is taking a vicious pummelling. Just as his skull is about to be caved in, he sends a message to his past self as a warning of the coming dest..."

After a number of mediocre entries into the "klassic" series, Mortal Kombat is back with a vengeance. Set to release next week, TheGamerBuzz takes a look at...
"With the first Mortal Kombat webisode out and the release of the game only a week away, I can barely remember the last time I was this excited about the franchise. That's probably because the year was 1995 and I was only nine years old."
It's been a long time since we saw Mortal Kombat on the big screen. The franchise have come a long way with more games, new characters, and now, a live action Mortal Kombat series.

The Entertainment Software Rating Board has released a rating summary for Mortal Kombat on the Playstation 3 and Xbox 360, detailing the game’s intense violence, partial nudity and other mature contents.
"The main issue with this news, much like the recent scandal with the new Call of Juarez game, is that the countries banning the games could easily circumvent their troubles by being slightly less myopic. These game developers and game players are free to virtually destroy each other as long as they are at least 16 or so, depending on the country they reside in. Why is it that Australia has yet to implement a similar age restriction? It wouldn't be hard to pass as you have the support of the g..."
Mortal Kombat has a new gameplay trailer released today, featuring more of Liu Kang as he battles the odds in the deadly tournament. There's fireballs and flaming kicks galore, so strap yourself in!
"Actor Ryan Robbins has joined the cast of Mortal Kombat: Rebirth to portray Raiden, who we all know is one of the most powerful characters in the MK universe. It hasn’t been detailed how Raiden will be adapted for the grittier world of MK: Rebirth, so for all we know Raiden could end up being the Police Commissioner or superior for Jax, Sonya and Stryker, which would make sense to me. But MK fans may be happy to hear that a few teases have been made by those involved in the production of MK..."
The darkness of Noob Saibot has returned to Mortal Kombat. IGN and WB Games have debuted a new trailer featuring the dark, dingy warrior doing what he does best -- killing folks.

"With Mortal Kombat set for release on April 19th and NetherRealm Studios still being tight lipped and I personally wondered if we wouldn’t find out about the additional features of the game until it was in our hands in April. But thanks to a reliable tipster, we have what could the reveals of the additional fighters, locations and features that will be present in the new Mortal Kombat."
"Aside from confirming that Michael Jai White would be returning in the role of Capt. Jackson Briggs, the cast for MK: Rebirth was relatively unknown.

Now we have another MK: Rebirth casting confirmation as Jeri Ryan has confirmed that she’ll be returning in the role of Sonya Blade, of which she portrayed in the original MK: Rebirth test..."

"Your mom may claim she loves you, but at the end of the day, she hates everything you like. What you wear, how you eat, who you date - it really doesn’t matter.

That means trying out new games, even (and especially, if you’re a typical adolescent) the ones she hates. Not sure what titles qualify? Well, some mothers have unique hatreds, but we feel the following list should keep you cov..."
Warner Bros. has announced that it will release the two Mortal Kombat films on Blu-Ray on the same date as the reboot game, April 19. Furthermore, they will come with vouchers for extra costumes in the PS3 version.
"Besides the return of Mortal Kombat to the hallowed halls of the fighting game elite, MK is finally making its way back into the realm of entertainment with the recently announced Mortal Kombat: Rebirth web series. Taking the MK series into a slightly gritty and somewhat grounded level of martial arts action may not seem like it would be cool, but the reaction to the eight-minute short/test film was unanimously good amongst most gamers and MK fans. Though I’m all for Mortal Kombat: Rebirth, ..."
Mortal Kombat's forthcoming webisode series begins filming in February, and insiders are indicating that it will spread across nine episodes, lasting ten minutes in length and talking about particular characters.

Kratos is crashing the party on the PlayStation 3 version of Mortal Kombat, but no one's been announced for the Xbox 360 version as of yet. We have a few suggestions as to who can join the fun.
The reboot by NetherRealm Studios is due to hit the shelfs in April 2011 confirms Mortal Kombats publisher Warner.
Exclusive to the PS3 copy of Mortal Kombat is God of War's Kratos and is available as a playable character.
Fans of Mortal Kombat won't want to miss out on the opportunity to pre-order the game. Two new Special Editions have been revealed, along with exclusive DLC that will have you pulling off fatalities like crazy.
Game Director David Jaffe comments emphatically about how well Kratos (from the God of War series) will fit into the upcoming fight game, Mortal Kombat.
It looks like Mortal Kombat is about to get a boost from the God of War. An article in the January issue of Official PlayStation Magazine indicates that Kratos will join the cast's roster, exclusively on PS3.
"Jade’s style in the Mortal Kombat lineage has become more risque over time. With fabric covering her mouth and not much else, Jack Thompson and other politicians are no doubt coweing in fear at the corruption she has brought to the videogame world. However, as cosplay pro CelestialMaiden proves, the style can be very...alluring."
"Scorpion, perhaps one of the most iconic figures in fighting game history, and arguably the most recognizable from the Mortal Kombat series, has recieved a new character vignette of sorts, detailing his extensive rivalry with Sub Zero, and why it exists."
Everyone remembers the pit in Mortal Kombat. Often an easy fatality in which you opponent falls to be stopped by awaiting blades of death. What to see what the pit will be like in the new game? Watch it here.
The ninth installment in the Mortal Kombat series looks to reboot the famed fighting franchise by going back to basics, getting ultra gory once again, and combining elements from the first three installments while attempting to craft its own identity. How will this fighter fare when it launches on the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3?
"You may or may not know that a glitch was found in Heavy Rain that causes Madison's character model to appear naked, making the game even more scandalous than it already is. After finding this out myself and wondering which politician will be using this to fuel his next re-election campaign, I couldn't help but reflect on some of my favorite video game controversies."
It looks like the Mortal Kombat HD Arcade Kollection is all but official, with cover art debuting over the weekend and numerous retail listings pointing to a November release. But what can we expect from the game trilogy? Plenty of bloody goodness.
"“We’re not launching day one on all consoles like that. We are looking at them; we have a PSP2 in the house and we’re looking at the engine, like what can it support."
Are movies based on fighting video games really as bad as people say they are? Gameplaybook decided to put them to the test with one big movie run, complete with a rating system based on alcoholic content. How could you lose?
For the longest time, the MKast was the ultimate insider source for everything happening in the Mortal Kombat universe. Well, good news, fans. The MKast is back, and the team returns with new footage and details on the upcoming fighter!
"I wrote about Mortal Kombat at E3 earlier this year, before it was available to play. At PAX however, there were several opportunities to get a feel for the game. With nine displays, eight on Playstation 3, one on Xbox 360, it was easy to find one to play on. Luckily, we got to play on the big screen and hang with the developers."
"There are many games out there but not many manage to have quotes that will stick with you your whole life. Quotes are what makes games memorable. What you’ll find below is a comprehensive list that I’ve compiled with the funniest, poorly translated and most memorable quotes."
A remake for the Mortal Kombat series had been announced a little before E3. E3 is now over and more light has been shown about the game. LVLONE have compiled a list of facts, possibilities and rumors about the game.
"But according to Ms. Seven of Nine (via her Twitter account), it wasn't a live-action trailer for Mortal Kombat 9 or a first look at a new MK movie. Instead, it was an independent production from director Kevin Tancharoen (he did last year's Fame remake) to pitch Warner Bros. on his vision of a new Mortal Kombat film."
"Threshold Entertainment Inc. filed the action Tuesday in Los Angeles, claiming Warners had shut it out of production of the martial arts movie, in which it owns a licensing interest.
In the early 1990s, Threshold had entered into a partnership with arcade-game developer Midway to develop "Mortal Kombat" into a variety of media, including two feature films."

Remember the Mortal Kombat murder from a few months ago? Seven year old Zoe Garcia was beated to death by her sixteen year old step-sister, Heather Trujillo and her 17 year old boyfriend Lamar Roberts using Mortal Kombat moves.
