Welcome to the day of
Armageddon. The final chapter in the current
Mortal Kombat mythos is here. Stores across the nation begin selling the
PlayStation 2 versions, including the Premium Editions which contain an autographed cell, extra videos and an emulated version of
Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3.
In
Xbox news,
EBGames.com now has
Mortal Kombat: Armageddon for Xbox
shipping
tomorrow, October 11th. Perhaps the delay for some stores isn't as long as previously reported, which was a week. Also you can recall that the
Xbox will not be receiving a
Premium Edition of the game; however, there is work being done on a
Xbox Live Arcade version of
Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3 for the
Xbox 360 that will feature online play.
Midway announced yesterday in their press release that we can expect a release in
November, along with
Mortal Kombat: Unchained for the
Sony PSP.
The official strategy guide for
Mortal Kombat: Armageddon is being published by
Prima Games. A preview of the
electronic verison of the guide is now online. The 23 page preview features information on general fighting strategies, stage overviews, kreate a fighter details and UMK3 moves.
The first reviews are starting to make their way online. Check
Metacritic for a running tab of all of the online reviews.
IGN:
8.5 and
GameSpot:
7.0
And lastly, here at
TRMK, work has begun on our very own in-depth online strategy guide. As with years past, you can expect the same quality of strategy guide we have delivered, culminating with highly praised guides for
Mortal Kombat: Deception and
Mortal Kombat: Shaolin Monks. Because of the immense volume of characters, we expect this guide to be one of the most challenging guides to develop, especially without any pre-release information. However, the
TRMK Staff and many volunteers are up to the task and are ready to bring you the quality work this site is proud to provide.
As you head out to stores to buy your copies of
Mortal Kombat: Armageddon, don't forget to head back to our
community forums and post any questions you have about the game. And if you're a pro and have found everything there is to find in the game, please feel free to help out those who are stuck or are in need of assistance. We sincerely appreciate the
TRMK Community for the positive help we witnessed throughout the first few months of
Mortal Kombat: Shaolin Monks, and we hope that this quality effort is duplicated for
Armageddon.
