With the announcement of a brand new Mortal Kombat coming to the Playstation 3 and Xbox 360 in 2011, the newest chapter of the iconic fighting game franchise marks the return to the series' mature presentation and a reinvention of its classic 2D fighting mechanic combined with the latest technology to up the gore factor a few notches.
Today, Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment and NetherRealm Studios unveiled two new characters who will join the fight in the upcoming Mortal Kombat – Cyrax and Kitana.
Cyrax, the robotic ninja warrior returns to the fray just as deadly as ever.
Kitana, is back as well, always ready to stand in opposition to her evil clone Mileena and her fiendish ways.
In addition, two new environments in the game are also being revealed – The Desert and Bell Tower.

Both levels will prove to be dramatic backdrops to the many punches, kicks, slices and fatalities that gamers will seek to execute in the new Mortal Kombat.

About The Author:
ComicBookMovie.com and Best Little Sites was the brainchild of Nate and a friend way back in 2002. Nate initially focused on the back-end programming and front-end design, but now manages the company and its associated sites as well, with a LOT of help from some very talented contributors.
Nate has loved comics from a very young age and continues to read them on a regular basis thanks to subscriptions to various titles (both Marvel and DC). He also loves movies, as his wife and children will attest. He's not overly critical of movies, so his reviews should be taken with a grain of salt as he's much more interested in being entertained and escaping the "real" world for a couple of hours than finding every conceivable plot-hole and character flaw in a film.
Outside of his guilty "nerdy" pleasures, Nate enjoys spending time with his wife and three boys, CrossFit, playing guitar, coaching youth sports and MMA (he spent a couple of years in the cage as an NHB fighter, but is now MUCH too old).
