Xbox Gaming in South Africa

Gamers will be able to "Finish Him" a little earlier than expected, with Warner Bros. announcing a demo for the return of the classic blood and gore fighting game Mortal Kombat.

First dibs belongs to PS3 gamers, with the demo hitting PSN on 15 March,  but Xbox 360 gamers won't be left out, with a Xbox LIVE release coming at a "later" date (presumably sometime between 15 March and the game's international release on 21 April).

The proclaimed "action-packed" demo will allow gamers to get their fatalities on with Mortal Kombat veterans Scorpion, Sub-Zero, Mileena and Johnny Cage in two of the franchise's most renowned arenas - the Living Forest and the Pit. The demo will also feature the arcade ladder for one or two players to battle it out.

The full game is expected to release, in all its gore, on 29 April in South Africa.
