Another Unofficial Umk3 Tournament
Posted On: Jan 25 2006, 01:15 PM
It appears that a new unofficial
Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3 tournament is coming. Here is the message
we received from one of the organizers.
There will be a UMK3 Tournament at 8 on the
Break February 18th, 2006. UMK3 is generally an under the table
tournament so no cover charge will apply (most likely) and a $5 entry
fee for the UMK3 tournament itself plus quarters to play is the expense.
340 North Ave, Dunellen, NJ 08812
Players who are/might be participating:
Shock, The Prophet, Phi, Rob Sigley, BustaUppa, Julian Robinson, Jeron,
DreemerNJ, Red Gouki and others. We need players to show up else we
cannot have a tournament. Keep UMK3 alive and represent it.

Mortal Kombat Armageddon First Look
Posted On: Jan 13 2006, 04:14 PM
The latest issue (154) of the
GameInformer magazine has a four page article on Midway's
next Mortal Kombat game: Mortal Kombat: Armageddon. Below
is the complete text of the article::
"The theme of finality came up when we were
determining whether we should move on to the next generation or create
one last game for the current consoles," recalls Mortal Kombat's
creator, Ed Boon. "Finality drove the whole story. It drove the feature
sets. It's the last step in this generation. By wrapping things up, we
can move on to the next generation with the slate wiped clean."
Leaving the current generation with the series in it's current state is
comparable to turning off Star Wars before the Death Star is destroyed,
or The Lord of the Rings before the One Ring is cast back into the fire.
In a way, Mortal Kombat: Armageddon will bring with it an end to an era
-- the final battle for a generation. When the last drop of blood is
spilled, Shang Tsung's deadly tournament will likely reach its
conclusion. "I want to see a pan shot over a battlefield that is
smoldering and littered with bodies," says Boon. "It's going to be this
massive culmination of things. I can't imagine that we'll come back [in
the next generation] and not have a Sub-Zero or Scorpion, but my feeling
is that I would like to introduce as much newness as is possible."
To ensure that all of the loose ends are properly tied up, every
character that has ever thrown a punch in a Mortal Kombat tournament is
suiting up for another round in Armageddon. "We really want to play up
the nostalgia factor of it," comments Boon. Just looking at the roster
of 60-plus combatants will assuredly bring back a flood of memories for
fans. Did you ever really think you would see Stryker again?
This immense roster is just a small taste of the new material that will
be included in this explosive finale. This installment will also house
the reinvention of the Fatality system, the implementation of the
series' first create-a-fighter mode, the evolution of combat through
aerial maneuvers, plus the transformation of Konquest mode -- which
could very well double as a stand alone game like Shaolin Monks.
"We can only do this mass amount of content because it's the current
generation," injects Boon. "We're not reinventing the display engine."
As the future of the series looms ever closer, Armageddon will serve as
a bridge between generations, bringing with it a sense of closure for
fans, while still leaving the series open for rebirth.
After a short period of silence,
Cinder posted one new Mortal Kombat: Shaolin Monks render of
Sonya and Kitana and one new concept art image of Smoke.
Cinder also posted one new Mortal Kombat: Deception render
of Liu Kang.
