Midway is a sinking ship. The money's gone, the final bonus payouts have become scandal, and they're selling off Mortal Kombat. Not good, folks. But even in the midst of their 10-K filings we get some updates on...new games?
So get this: This Is Vegas is still on track for the Xbox 360, PS3, and PC. I thought it would be dead by now! A few weeks ago, someone told me that it's still going, and I didn't believe him. Here's one thing we agreed on: the game is going to be trash when it does release, and they should have killed it long ago.
Also, the highly anticipated Game Party 3 is coming up for the Wii, says the filing. Can't wait. No, really. And there's another yet-to-be-announced project coming up, too. That Gaming Site calls this a "tease," but I think that term usually applies to something you'd desire.

I kind of feel like MK is represented, in-universe, by Liu Kang. Liu Kang is now a zombie. Discuss.
As for the MK games, I think Mortal Kombat needs to return to a 2D or a 2.5D gameplay. The 3D gameplay and graphics just don't cut it. The gameplay itself is kind of shallow, they need to add a new gameplay mechanic or something to increase the depth of it. As I hate to admit, but the story of the whole Mortal Kombat Universe seems kind of stale, a remake of the story and lore would probably be in their best interest.
