The latest Midway Games press event has come to a close. Last night, we at Mortal Kombat Online spent an entire day not only playing a near final complete version of Mortal Kombat: Shaolin Monks, we were also able to also catch up with past Mortal Kombat Development Team members Ed Boon, Shaun Himmerick, John Podlasek, Mike Taran, Steve Beran, Brian Lebaron, and Tony Goskie. We'll admit we're a little exhausted after hours of intensive gameplay, watching Brice Mellen (a blind MK fan from Nebraska) literally kick Ed Boon's ass time and time again on Mortal Kombat: Deception, and lastly having more drinks at the Sound Bar than you can shake a fist at. But nevertheless, we're here to do some reporting from the events that were last night. To start off, below are links to the actual presentation video from yesterday evening at Midway's Chicago 2005 Event:

As well, here are various photos we took while at the event for your complete viewing pleasure:



Keep checking back this weekend as we will have our complete impressions of Mortal Kombat: Shaolin Monks and gameplay footage of all new levels, and you guessed it - we'll bring you a small tease of what to expect from the much anticipated Mortal Kombat 7. While most of what we learned was told in confidence, we have a few small details that we will unveil in our next update.
