So many of us grew up playing the amazingly bloody Mortal Kombat series, and we even watched those God awful films over and over again. (Seriously, Johnny Cage, WTF?!) But in recent years, the games have be unable to restore the old flame that has long been extinguished for so many of us. In spite of all of this, here is NetherRealm Studios, stepping up to the plate to bring us Mortal Kombat 9 — all hail the M-rated beat ’em ups!
I take some time to chat with Ed Boon, Creative Director behind Mortal Kombat 9, and resist the urge to scream ‘finish him’ in his face. Boon speaks to us about living in the shadow of the long running Mortal Kombat series, what they hope to bring us with the new game, we even discuss the future possibilities for paid and free downloadable content.
