As the sun sets on the Xbox, gaze at the stars appearing on the dusky horizon

Mortal Kombat: Armageddon

Publisher: Midway
Developer: Midway
Release Date: October 2006

As the end of the current era of consoles rushes headlong into complete self-annihilation, it seems only fitting that Mortal Kombat be there to polish it off. For a series so completely steeped in blood, sweat and gore, you can't just half-ass its finale, and Mortal Kombat: Armageddon appears to be going down swinging.

No matter which of the Kombats was your favorite (and, be honest, everyone has a favorite), you'll find your characters represented. Packing over 60 of the series' playable pummelers into this one title, Midway assures us that no one will be left out.
