    By Far The Best Dead or Alive To Date 0

    I've been a huge fan of the Dead or Alive series and this was a much needed evolution and return to form for the series after the disappointments of Dead or Alive 4 and Dead or Alive: Dimensions. If you're looking for a well made and fluid fighter or are a long time fan of the Dead or Alive series, this is a worthy addition to the series. Highly recommended!...

    Dead or Alive 5, old yet still different. 0

    It seems strange that Dead or Alive 5 has come out towards the end of this console’s generation when the previous game was released exclusively for the 360. With the noted absence of main developer, Itagaki, Team Ninja headed in a very different direction with this latest installment. However, what remains in its core is certainly the Dead or Alive series that I know and somewhat embarrassingly, love.The most immediate change compared to the previous games is the general aesthetic, especially wi...
