So much for the proposed Mortal Kombat remake that Warner Bros. Pictures had hoped to get off the ground. Still, fans of the bloody battle are in for a treat as Bloody Disgusting learned that director Kevin Tancharoen – who directed the awesome online short – will return behind the camera for a 10-episode web series dedicated to the popular video game.

Contested expected to be cast are: Shang Tsung, Liu Kang, Sub Zero, Durak, Kabal, Kitana/Mileena and of course Scorpion. No release date is planned, and there’s no word on that R-rated remake. The only plot details we could conjure up is that a few Earthlings will fight to save the planet from Shao Kahn and Shang Tsung, two Gods ruling over parallel universes, or something to that effect.

Looks like the game will be getting two awesome special editions dubbed the Kollector’s (I see what you did there you clever beaver) and Tournament Editions. The former will house within it a figure of Sub-Zero and Scorpion and a snazzy art book. But if that’s just not enough to satiate your appetite for all things Mortal Kombat, the Tournament Edition comes with an arcade-style fight stick controller and opens up to reveal a storage area for the game’s case (perfect for showing it off to any of your equally nerdy friends).

Both editions will include codes that unlock the classic costumes and the Xbox 360 version will have some stylish avatar costumes as well. PS3 owners that get any edition of the game needn’t feel bad since you’ll have Kratos as a playable character, and that’s way better than any dumb ‘ole avatar costumes. READ MORE

It’s understandable if you missed the awards show this year, perhaps you were busy reading a particularly interesting book, watching a good movie or simply had better things to do. I don’t blame you for having a life but it’d be a shame to miss out on all the goods this year’s VGAs had to offer.

Retro Review: Alice In Chains ‘Dirt’

The early 90’s were the time when I was figuring out exactly what musical styles spoke to me and what drew my interest. It was also a time when music was…well, music, unlike much of today’s offerings. Gone were the days of hair and speed metal as well as electronic and synth-based bands, replaced by grunge, the beginnings of nu-metal, an evolving and growing hip-hop/rap genre as well as the popularization of contemporary country music. It was the end of an era that had grown into stagnation and the beginning of a fresh, new time that brought many of my (now) favorite artists to the forefront of the music scene.

One of these bands is Alice In Chains, whose 1992 release ‘Dirt’, is considered by many to be one of those ‘timeless’ albums that appears over and over in Top (insert number here) albums of (insert however long here). So, do I agree? Does ‘Dirt’ deserve all of these spots and this recognition? Find out after the jump.

Want a closer look at Scorpion from the upcoming Mortal Kombat reboot? I knew you would, and as a little bonus you can also briefly watch as Scorpion opens a massive can of flaming whoopass on poor, unsuspecting Sub Zero in the video below.

Yeah, that’s pretty awesome. With each new video I see for this game I get a little more excited about it, and that’s coming from someone who’s never been much of a fan of, or terribly adept at fighting games. Mortal Kombat hits our consoles and inveritably blows our minds soon after sometime next year. READ MORE
