By Jared Newman Warner Bros. will pay $33 million to acquire the ailing company, Gamespot reports. Popular Midway assets, such as Mortal Kombat, will change hands to Warner Bros.

By Glenn M. When asked how he manages to bring the then big video games with him on tour, Jackson simply replied that they travel with two cargo planes. I don't imagine Jacko doing fatalities though, maybe he's more the Friendship type of finisher.

By Stephen Totilo Add Mortal Kombat to the video games Michael Jackson was into. You mean you read books?'' Any in particular?'' I love X-Man. Pinball. Jurassic Park. The martial arts ones - Mortal Kombat.'' I played some of the video games at Neverland,'' I said. "There was an amazing one called Beast Buster.''

By Michael McWhertor Warner's bid would net the media giant development studios in Chicago (Mortal Kombat, Stranglehold) and Seattle (The Suffering, This Is Vegas) and rights to new and classic IP. It would also almost certainly mean another Mortal Kombat and DC crossover.

Indeed, anybody who's seen "Mortal Kombat: Annihilation" is sure to agree that th...

By Mike Fahey Lawrence Kasanoff, the producer behind the Mortal Kombat movies, television show, and animated series has filed suit against Midway in U.S. Bankruptcy Court in order to make sure he retains series milking rights.

By JC Fletcher On screen, Mortal Kombat's top-knotted, four-armed Goro was a menacing, scary figure, towering over our hapless Sub-Zeros and Raidens. This vintage picture from Mortal Kombat creator Ed Boon's Twitter, reveals that, in real life, Goro was just a li'l guy.

By Luke Plunkett While the rest of Mortal Kombat's cast of in-game characters were digitised actors, Goro obviously wasn't. He was, instead, a stop-motion miniature, whose moves were recorded on the 1990's most cutting-edge recording equipment: a table, a blue screen and a table lamp.

By Matt There aren’t many fighting games for the DS (Ultimate Mortal Kombat is about as good as it gets at the moment) and although this effort isn’t awful, it’s too middling to recommend to anybody but WWE fans.
