The Mortal Kombat Vs. DC Universe DLC That Could've Been
Mortal Kombat Vs. DC Universe's roster of "kombatants" was missing some key names on both sides. That was something series co-creator Ed Boon and the MK team had hoped to address with downloadable content, which never happened. More » -

American Academy of Child & Adolescent Psychiatry Recommends MK vs. DC For Families
Some of our more jaded readers may poo-poo Mortal Kombat vs. DC Universe's softer, more broad reaching one-on-one violence, but there's one organization who has no qualms with the T-rated brawler. That would be the American Academy of Child & Adolescent Psychiatry which has reviewed the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 game, finding that it "will likely facilitate an adult joining a teenager in video game play." Not a sexy box quote by any means, but maybe better than we were expecting. More » -

Frankenreview: Mortal Kombat vs. DC Universe
They said it couldn't be done. Actually what they really said was it shouldn't be done, followed by several what the hell were they thinkings, but Midway went and did it anyway. Mortal Kombat Vs. DC Universe is a concept that frightened and confused quite a few people in the gaming community, but as new footage and details trickled out the concept slowly began to grow on us. Soon we found ourselves looking forward to beating up Sonya Blade with Wonder Woman, or Batman with Scorpion. It might not be so bad, right? More » -

Midway Loses $76 Million, Hopes For Great MK vs. DCU Success
Chicago-based developer Midway announced its third quarter earnings today, pulling in $51.4 million in revenue. That's better than the $36.7 million it did the year prior and thankfully in line with expectations. The bad news — oh, there's bad news, naturally — is that Midway took a loss of $75.9 million, with losses planned to continue for the year. That's worse than the quarter before and the year prior, for those who like to keep track of such things. More » -

MK vs. DC: The Joker's Fatality Gets T-Rated
First the good news. Mortal Kombat vs. DC Universe is still great fun. We played it from the comfort of the Kotaku couch this week and had a blast. Now the bad news. That amazing Joker fatality, the one where... well, if you haven't seen it yet, we'd suggest you watch it now. It's awesome. More » -

New Details On MK vs. DC's Unique Story Mode, Model Viewer, DLC Plans and More
Midway's Ed Boon and Paulo Garcia, game designers on Mortal Kombat vs. DC Universe, stopped by the Kotaku "offices" yesterday to give us a near-final look at the upcoming PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 fighting game. Having already played the game at E3, Comic-Con and the Leipzig Games Convention, we were pretty familiar with how the game plays. More » -

New MK Versus DCU Screens Slightly Irregular
Less than 20 days to go before Midway unleashes Mortal Kombat vs. DC Universe, and I for one am ready to explode with excitement. So are Wonder Woman and Baraka in this set of new screens, showcasing three of the game's new fighting mechanisms. Rage Mode allows the character to finally release all the rage they've got backed up inside them, releasing it in a torrent of ferocious attacks. Klose Kombat is like close combat, only spelled with a K instead of a C. Finally we have Freefall Kombat, or as many of the DC characters call it, flying downwards. I suppose magic is making Superman fall. Damn that magic. Just hoping I'm not too tired from suspending all this disbelief to enjoy the game.
