Mortal Kombat: Armageddon
(LAST UPDATE: 5/16/06)
Profile
General: MK: Armageddon is known as Mortal Kombat 7, and rumored to be the LAST Mortal Kombat... MK: Armageddon will feature over 65 characters (every character in the series), a new juggling system (it's about time), a "reversal" system, an updated graphics engine, a new story mode (Konquest), new multi-tiered arenas, character costume customization, a detailed Create-a-character mode, and online play... Sounds like a winning combination for the series who has seen it's fair share of ups and downs.
Story: Shujinko, Scorpion, Raiden, Sub-Zero, Liu Kang, and Kung Lao all defeated the evil Onaga in the Chamber of the Dragon, just as the power of Shinnok's Amulet was about to fuse the Kamidogu together. Scorpion, however, learned that Quan Chi is alive and has used a clone of Raiden to be Shinnok's next body, while the real Raiden was sent to the Orderrealm, where he saw it fall into the hands of the revolutionaries.
Sub-Zero saw that his older brother was freed, upon Noob Saibot's death, but, he has to defeat Saibot, who still lives as a dark ninja. Scorpion, out of respect for the young Sub-Zero, joins him, however, he still hates the older Sub-Zero. The real Raiden, also, has returned to Earthrealm and found that Shao Kahn is alive in Outworld. Goro, faithful towards Kitana, is spying on Kahn. Havik joined Kahn and ressurected Reptile, Kintaro, Motaro, and several other fighters to join him, along with Kahn's old allies returning to him.
The Shadow Priests have resurfaced, looking for Blaze, who's goal is to bring Kahn's reign to an end, for he senses an imbalance in the ways of nature. Shinnok and Shao Kahn don't realize that the One Being is using them through the Kamidogu. Onaga absorbed some of its power and after Havik ate his heart, Havik became the vessel for darkness to return. The real Raiden now has to destroy all three of them.
Can Liu Kang, Shujinko, and Kung Lao defeat the new evils that have risen from the dead? Also, will Liu Kang admit his feelings for Kitana? (Because yall know he ain't dead).

Comment: Wow, the most characters ever in a Mortal Kombat game, with umm.. almost EVERY MK character returning?! (I guess nobody REALLY dies in Mortal Kombat). Along with all your favorite MK characters, and create a character, it sure sounds fun... But I hope the game engine is halfway fun at least. We know for sure it will be fun-ny... and that's usually reason enough to play it for a little while at least. The Create-a-character mode should add some more lasting appeal and surely some extra humor as well... Could be the best 3D MK yet?
