Words cannot express how amazing and hilarious this video is.... Oh wait those exact words are in the title of this video and that word is EPIC! Youtube users Riot produce this awesome nugget from the net and I must say it had me at hello. I kind of never knew what to fully expect upon seeing the video and I must say it was well worth the surprise.

From seeing some of my favorite Street Fighter characters such as, Ruy,Ken,Chun-Li and Akuma get their boogey and groove on against Mortal Kombat faves, Lu-Kang,Scorpion,Goro and many more. See this is the type of hilarious things I wish my friends and I did more of because this is golden.

Special thanks to a good friend and fellow nerd RadNerd for sharing this crazy yet epic video. Show him some love for he is awesomely nerdtastic as well.

New Mortal Kombat Game Heading Out In 2013?

If you've been under a rock for the past year then you clearly missed something big. Out of nowhere the Mortal Kombat franchise is starting to return in full force with the release of the most recent game and the web series that cost $2 million to make.

It looks like there will be a feature film reboot of the series and the director of the web series Ken Tancharoen will be helming the project. But that's not the big news here, there's word of another game releasing either with the movie when it debuts in theaters, or when it hits DVD and Blu-Ray.

"Because the Mortal Kombat games and movies are now being made under the same studio roof, the film’s release is expected to be coordinated with the next game. Emmerich and Tusjihara both said they hope the next Mortal Kombat game will come out when the movie hits theaters, or potentially in a single package along with the DVD and Blu-ray."

Freddy Krueger is Slashing His Way Into Mortal Kombat

Four DLC fighters and a handful of costume packs were promised for Mortal Kombat 9 a few months back. Fast forward to now, we've gotten our costume packs and we've gotten three downloadable characters; Skarlet, Kenshi, and Rain. The fourth character has been kept under wraps, but his identity is no longer a secret.

The Nightmare Man himself, Freddy Krueger will be joining the Mortal Kombat kast. Yes, the horror film icon will be available to download August 9 on the Xbox 360 and PS3 for 400 Microsoft Points ($4.99). Krueger will be the final bit of DLC for Mortal Kobat, but he's a pretty high note to go out on. You can check out his reveal in the video below.

Mortal Kombat Arcade Collection Arrives Late This Summer For $9.99

It's been a good year for the Mortal Kombat series, and it's only going to get better. Warner Brothers is going to deliver the Mortal Kombat Arcade Collection for Xbox Live Arcade, the Playstation Network, and PC late this summer. And what a collection it is, bundling Mortal Kombat, Mortal Kombat 2, and Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3.

It only gets better from there, all three games will feature online play and leaderboards. Even more cause for joy, it will only cost $9.99.

It's possible that you may have already downloaded some of the original versions of this game already as UMK3 was a standalone game on XBLA, as was MK2 on the PSN. Both of those games got removed from their respective stores when Warner Brothers bought the rights to Mortal Kombat from Midway. So this is a good way to not only get those two on one platform, but also get the original game.

While the recent Mortal Kombat was essentially all three original games smashed together into an awesome revamp one can't help but get excited at the idea of replaying these three classic games for a relatively low price.

In addition to this awesome collection, PDP has created a special version of their already amazing MK fight stick with a new button layout tooled to the design of the old games. The stick will be sold exculsively through Gamestop and retail for $129.99. People who preorder the fight stick will recieve a download code for the game when it releases.

What say you Mortal Kombat fans, I know I can't wait to krush some skulls come summer.

Mortal Kombat to get Online Pass for Multiplayer?

Warner Bros. seems to not like the idea for used games; much like EA and THQ. Originally reported by Joystiq, who had received this tid-bit by their reliable source, had also said that this would happen with F.E.A.R. 3 and Batman: Arkham City.

It's also been said that retailers are going to be aware of the online passes, but Warner Bros. in no way will advertise this on game's cases. The only thing that will be available for people who have purchased the game used is a two-day free trial for online play.

As more and more publishers are going this route, I honestly like it. It battles used games where in the end, publishers and developers will continue getting money out of this. After all, used purchases will not have any money going back to these companies that have put a lot of hard work in their titles
