IGN has posted another installment in their Fatality Friday series, which shows off one fatality each week from Mortal Kombat: Deception. This week, Fatality Friday features the queen of Edenia, Sindel! In the video, Sindel takes out her weapon, snags Sub-Zero with it, and tosses him into the air over her. She then starts spinning the weapon rapidly over her head like helicopter blades. As Sub-Zero comes back down, he hits the spinning weapon, and starts bouncing upon it as the blade dismembers him.

As always, the video is available in Quicktime format for IGN Insider members, and Windows Media format for non-Insiders. To see the video, click here.

Our thanks to forum member icemutiny for the heads-up on this new installment in Fatality Fridays!

Looks like IGN has another story on MK: Deception! This time, they focus in on one of MKD's coolest new features: The Death Trap.

With the upcoming Mortal Kombat: Deception, the fighting environments themselves represent distinct threats to the fighters thanks to the generous helping of Death Traps sprinkled throughout the game. The concept simple: you can use specific parts of the environment to deal embarrassing damage and end the match immediately if you can get your opponent into a death trap.

Each of the 3 Death Traps covered in their 2-part article, "The Six Chambers of Death", has their own downloadable video in the Windows Media (WMV) format.

Click here to read the 1st part of the article, or as I call it, the particle. (The second particle should be coming soon.) A huge thanks to MK Online user SycloneFX for this awesome news!

GameSpot has added another new video to its growing collection from Midway's upcoming Mortal Kombat: Deception! This new video showcases some of the most brutal death traps that can be performed in the game! Narrated by designer Mike Taran, he walks you through most of the death traps, as well as showing off the 3D version of The Pit; beforehand showing some footage from the original Mortal Kombat's Pit which started the tradition of stage fatalities. Mortal Kombat: Deception is the first game since Mortal Kombat 4 to have the return of stage fatalities, which can determine the fate of the match at any moment. This will surely be a delight to fans everywhere, online and off, when this game ships on October 4th, 2004 for the Playstation 2 and Xbox.

The video is available to stream for free or available for download for GameSpot Complete members. Thanks goes out to network member Murdoink and site member sub-zeromasta for the heads up!
