Mortal Kombat: Armageddon Online Strategy Guide
What would the 90s arcade scene have looked like without Mortal Kombat? — Wait, scratch that.

What would our popular culture look like were it not once guided by the gentle hand of Mortal Kombat? Movies, television shows, comic books, card games, novels, evening newscasts denouncing the evils of pulling spines out of little sculptured warriors - the Mortal Kombat games, for better or worse, defined how our country looked at video games. And with Mortal Kombat: Armageddon, this generation's final MK, 62 characters reunite for one last bloody hurrah.

Mortal Kombat: Armageddon isn't just a game. Why, it's the end of an American era.

Pay your respects with our Mortal Kombat: Armageddon guide, complete with:

• BASICS // The do's and don'ts on your quest for total supremacy of all realms of Mortal Kombat. Includes a look at the new features of Armageddon, including Kustom Fatalities and a revamped Krypt.
• KOMBATANTS // Sub-Zero or Scorpion? Ashrah or Meat? Strategies and combos for every character in the game to end your dilemma.
• KONQUEST // Just what is going on in this game? Konquest Mode answers your questions, while our Konquest section reveals the location of all 60 relics.
• MOTOR KOMBAT // Every racer reviewed, though we make no judgments on how eco-friendly each kart is.
