First initially reported by Mortal Kombat Online last fall, a new book about the history of NBA Jam — and more broadly, Midway and the ‘90s arcade scene — is coming out today! Published by Boss Fight Books, NBA Jam by Reyan Ali is an intimate look at the making of the hit arcade game (which featured Scorpion, Sub-Zero, Reptile, and Raiden as secret characters in NBA Jam: Tournament Edition) and life at Midway’s office in Chicago around it.

Fans in attendance at this year's San Diego Comic-Con have had the chance to take in the sights and sounds of guest DLC fighter Predator and Mortal Kombat X thanks to the Xbox Lounge. Today, the action will kick into a higher gear as Machinima presents a dual Mortal Kombat Kosplay Kontest and Play the Pro Challenge special event!

Mortal Kombat X Mobile lets you take the fight wherever you go with kard kombat for iOS & Android devices! Looking to level up your tablet device? NetherRealm Studios is giving you the chance to win a new iPad Air 2 just by playing!

IGN Editor Greg Miller has posted an exciting blog inviting players to join him in a private playable demo of Mortal Kombat in the Warner Bros booth at the Penny Arcade Expo (PAX) which begins this Friday.
