About Mortal Kombat: Deception
With an innovative fighting system, arena death-traps, and two fatalities per character, Mortal Kombat: Deception was voted Best Fighting game of 2004 by the Academy of Interactive Arts and Sciences and Gamespot.com.

Mortal Kombat: Shaolin Monks is an Action/Adventure title driven by intense single- and multi-player gameplay that is set in the period between the franchise’s original title, Mortal Kombat, and Mortal Kombat II. As in Mortal Kombat: Deception, background interactions, multiple fatalities, and action-based puzzles play an important role in the player’s quest for an "outstanding" victory as they maneuver through remodeled, classic Mortal Kombat environments. In franchise tradition, Mortal Kombat: Shaolin Monks also features an impressive line-up of well-known characters that make frequent appearances as enemies, in boss battles and during several additional in-game interactions.
About Mortal Kombat: Armageddon
Winner of the 2006 "PS2 Fighting Game of the Year" from IGN, Mortal Kombat: Armageddon is the latest chapter in Midway’s best-selling video game fighting franchise. With a roster of more than 60 characters as well as the ability for players to create their own fighters and take them online, Armageddon is the most complete Mortal Kombat game to date. Adding in the ability for players to create their own fatalities, the brand new Konquest Adventure mode and the "MK-style" Kart racing game called Motor Kombat round out the biggest Mortal Kombat game ever.
