This game just came out yesterday, and the community is already exceeding expectations for creativity. This video, a Mortal Kombat love song, is great! To make matters worse, I think I'll have this stuck in my head as I go to work now.
Check it out! From TheWarpZone youtube.
NetherRealm Studios has released another character bio video. This one is called Brutal Justice, and it features Stryker! Like previous videos, it gives nice background on the character. As a bonus though, it has gameplay footage of Stryker pulling off some nice combos. He's a bad-***!
Take a look after the break!

This is the first Mortal Kombat game that I have been excited about since the MK2-3 days, and today it is officially on store shelves! I'm sure that I'm not the only one!

If you need a little help deciding whether or not to grab a copy of Mortal Kombat, our very own Haunts reviewed the title for 1UP and said review is now live over on their site. The review goes into pretty big detail on what you can expect out of the game, what works and what doesn't. Check the excerpt below and then head over to 1UP to read the full thing!
The second episode of the Mortal Kombat: Legacy webseries is now up on the Machinima YouTube channel. This episode continues exactly where the previous episode left off, with the conclusion of Jax's battle against Kano. If you liked the first episode, be sure to check this one out!
ScrewAttack put together a really entertaining clip recently, going over their top 10 Mortal Kombat characters -- er, Kharacters. While this wont help you win any tournament or anything it's definitely worth checking out for a few laughs.
If you think Cyber Sub-Zero might end up being nothing more than a gimmick character in Mortal Kombat, you'll want to check out this new combo video sent over to us by Victor which will most likely change your mind. He shows a few basic set ups then gets into some more difficult combos a little later on, giving us a good idea of what Cyber Sub-Zero is capable of.
Quite a few people from within the community were able to pick up their copy of Mortal Kombat early. You may have caught a few videos on YouTube and streams as a result, but the level of play hasn't been particularly high - the game is new, after all. Fortunately, REO and Dark Rob have been hard at work in the lab getting their game up, and the result is some of the highest level MK matches we've seen so far.
If you'd like to get a general idea of how Mortal Kombat will look at higher levels of play, you'll want to see this.
If you're like me and completely missed the boat on Machinima's Mortal Kombat live stream a couple days back, Machinima uploaded a whopping 38 minutes worth of footage recorded from the livestream. The video shows a number of things we haven't seen very much of in the past, including Test Your Luck mode and Zombie mode.
If you'd like to go into Mortal Kombat fresh when the game launches on April 19, you'll probably want to avoid this one. Otherwise, enjoy a pretty big dose of Mortal Kombat!
G4TV posted what is, according to MK Community Manager Rigo Cortez, the last gameplay trailer to be released before Mortal Kombat launches on the 19th. The video follows up last week's story vignette and shows off a pretty good amount of gameplay for Shang Tsung.
IGN posted the reveal trailer for one of Mortal Kombat's premier online modes, King of the Hill. The mode seems to act similarly to SSF4's endless lobby, but with a very interesting and creative twist. People in the "crowd" spectating the matches can perform various actions using their avatars - including throwing a tomato at the screen - and even rate the match at the end.
The video outlines several of the things your avatar can do when spectating, but true to MK fashion, NetherRealm teases at a few hidden things as well. If you'd like to see how it works in action, check out the video below and then let us know what you think about it.
The first episode of Mortal Kombat Legacy is finally here! This is a live-action web series presented by Machinima and Warner Bros. The first episode features Jax, Striker, Sonya Blade and Kano.
I am really impressed by this. The production values are excellent as is the voice acting. It's got a lot going for it and I can't wait to see where it goes.
PDPCandace posted a video on YouTube that takes a pretty in-depth look at PDP's Mortal Kombat 'Fight Stick'. As you'll see in the video, PDP Candace and Gerry block go over the features of the stick, from the authentic Suzo-Happ parts, all the way down to the arcade-authentic material used for the box.
Also, the two give the lowdown on PDP's upcoming Mortal Kombat tournament to be held in Las Vegas on May 14-15. If you'd like to get a good look at the MK stick and learn a thing or two about PDP's tournament in the process, give this a look.
The Mortal Kombat team uploaded a new trailer recently, this time of Nightwolf! No Fatalities in this one but you will be able to check out his X-Ray move. Less than two weeks till the game comes out! Get hype!
The next character vignette trailer for Mortal Kombat was released by GameSpot this morning. This one focuses on the story for everyone's favorite soul-stealing sorceror, Shang Tsung. As was the case with all of the other character vignettes, there's not a whole lot of gameplay in this one, but a full-on gameplay trailer for Shang Tsung should be just around the corner.
NetherRealm sent over a note this morning to tell us that Mortal Kombat has officially gone gold exactly two weeks before the game is expected to ship. To celebrate the occasion, NetherRealm passed along a handful of new screenshots which you can take a look at below.
NetherRealm released what is possibly the most entertaining character story video yet. Beyond covering a bit of Johnny Cage's story, the video has a pretty good amount of gameplay and is all set to the tone of a cheesy 90s action movie trailer. It also happens to be one of the closest glimpses of the game's story mode so far, so check it out when you have a minute!
Gamereactor interviewed Erin Piepergerdes, associate producer at NetherRealm Studios, about Mortal Kombat.
