E3 2010: Mortal Kombat Preview @ IGN.com
We play the new Mortal Kombat and have a chat with series co-creator Ed Boon.

Welcome back to the golden age of Mortal Kombat. Taking its cues from the first three classic Mortal Kombat games, the new title is at once a homage to the earliest games in the series, but also progressive in just the right places. The team listened to what the fans were asking for, in short, and is set to deliver a memorable new entry.

We're talking brutal fights with ridiculously over-the-top fatalities, classic characters and stages, and game mechanics that look and feel like Mortal Kombat, but are more varied and a whole lot less canned.
