FileFront has a new article up, previewing the next installation to the Mortal Kombat adventure game series, Mortal Kombat: Shaolin Monks. Here's a snippet:

Trying to move a game from one medium into another, even if there are only a handful of changes to make, might very well take a game from a realm of understanding into an area of resistance. There is quite a fan-base behind the game that will hold it up to much scrutiny, but what the game has going for it is the fact that outside of the limited amount of story it gave to you, there have not been any real attempts to create a larger world out of the limited storyline that came with the games original releases.
