The internet is abuzz with news that yet another fighting game is getting yet another cross-over. This time, Mortal Kombat will be featuring one of the most iconic characters to grace consoles in recent years; a fitting addition to the bloody series. And unlike the last Mortal Kombat crossover, the rather middling MK vs DC, it won’t force toning …
Not too long ago, we posted a Scorpion vignette, showing his history and the reasons for his eternal feud with Sub-Zero. Warner Interactive have released another Scorpion-focused trailer of Netherrealms’ Mortal Kombat 9 – this time showing lots of gameplay.

After an all-too-long series of missteps, Mortal Kombat is trying to win back the hearts, minds, and bruised and battered fingers of fighting game fans. From everything we’ve seen so far Mortal Kombat 9 – from Warner’s Netherrealm Studios and MK co-creator Ed Boon looks like it’ll do just that.

Series Co-creator Ed Boon has revealed that a co-operative game featuring the series stalwarts ninjas – Sub Zero and Scorpion was cancelled. It was to be made by …
The last Mortal Kombat, pitting the series’ stalwarts against characters from DC comic’s stable was T-rated – meaning the game was devoid of the gratuitous, over-the-top violence the series is known for. Mortal Kombat 9 – due next year – won’t be quite as tame. "We’re going to be as M-rated as we’ve ever been," said series co-creator Ed Boon. …
Ed Boon, one of the creators of the violent, over-the-top fighter Mortal Kombat has been teasing the ninth game in the series quite a bit lately. The game’s been in development for what seems like a lifetime – but at least we now know it’s not vapourware. While little is known about the game so far, there’s much speculation that …
