Once again, the official Mortal Kombat: Armageddon website has been updated with new media! However, this time, the update is slightly different than previous updates; this time, Midway has updated it with two pieces of stage music: one from the Subway arena, and one from the Wastelands arena! The Subway music has a bit of an urban beat to it, complete with record scratching and a driving guitar line. The Wastelands music, on the other hand, has more of an orchestral feel, with what sounds like brass and a chorus (similar to the Lower Mines stage music from MK: Deception). The Wastelands music file also has a slight glitch, as the last couple of seconds are from the Subway stage music.

• Wastelands Stage Music from MK Armageddon

Our thanks to forum/chat member for letting us know about these two new stage music downloads!

With all of the video madness going on, it appears that IGN has decided to get in on the action as well. They posted two new videos today, giving information from the soon-to-be-released Mortal Kombat: Armageddon! One video is entitled "Aerial Kombat", and features series creator Ed Boon and game producer John Podlasek discussing the inclusion of aerial kombat to the fighting engine. As they discuss bringing a part of the 2D game to the 3D Mortal Kombat series, the video shows several different examples of aerial attacks and combos. The second video, entitled "Cast of Characters", is just that: it shows very short clips of kombat, one after the other, featuring every single character that is in the game. Even characters not seen in official videos before are shown, such as Chameleon, Meat, and Daegon. In addition, if one looks carefully, one can also see the occasional alternate costume, such as the one Goro wears when he is seen taking on Rain. There's no commentary included with "Cast of Characters".

The videos are available in both Windows Media and Apple Quicktime format. Low-resolution versions are available to stream and download for anyone, but only IGN Insiders can view or download the high-resolution versions. To view and/or download the two videos, click here.

This afternoon, Cinder from the Midway Boards posted a third fight video from the upcoming Mortal Kombat: Armageddon! This fight video features Sektor and (zombie) Liu Kang having it out in the Foundry! In this match, the two are pretty evenly matched; the main draw in this match is seeing the parries, one of MK: Armageddon's new gameplay features, in action.

Gamestop/EB Games are now offering an exclusive Bonus Offer when you preorder Mortal Kombat: Armageddon on Playstation 2! This offer is good on both the Premium Edition and the regular version of MKA. From the preorder webpages:

Order Mortal Kombat Armageddon Premium Edition for the PS2 and receive a Mortal Kombat art cell featuring 50 characters from the series! Offer good while supplies last.

The "art cell" mentioned here is none other than the cast render which we have previously seen in many different forms. From the thumbnail image on both websites, it seems to not include the additions such as Motaro, Meat or Chameleon, but only time will tell if the final version of the cast will be included.

To view Gamestop's preorder page, click here. To view EB Games' preorder page, click here. Note that these are the Premium Editions, but once again the offer is good with the $39.99 standard version of MK: Armageddon.

Thanks to forum member for this new information.

Hot on the heels of the previous posted fight videos, Cinder of the Midway Boards has posted another fight video from Mortal Kombat: Armageddon! This video, while short, shows the popular match-up of Scorpion against Sub-Zero in the recently-revealed Meteor Arena. Of particular note in this video are the facts that you can see the meteors streaking through the sky, and the fact that Sub-Zero's costume is his main costume from MK: Deception.
