XB360 Dead or Alive 4
Anime Video Game Review
Team Ninja does not disappoint by bringing us what may be the most balanced, best-looking and most challenging fighter game to date for any platform, ever. Gorgeous graphics, destructible multilevel arenas, online multiplayer challenges and of course, those beautiful girls (wonder if the nude Kasumi code works?) highlight an incredible game engine that may be the finest and most subtle devised.
Button mashers may find the learning curve steep — this is no ordinary fighter game anymore, instead you must learn to defend yourself while also learning the codes required to deliver stunning combos that will leave your opponent gasping. The online mode is worth it alone - because Tecmo matches you with other opponents of your skill level, allowing you to actually fight instead of just being used as a punching bag. And, have we mentioned that Kasumi still kicks high?

Dead or Alive Xtreme Beach Volleyball (X-Box)
Anime Video Game Review
It should be obvious to anyone with a libido (or just anyone breathing) what the attraction of this game is. Eye candy extreme as the bodacious babes of the hit fighter game Dead or Alive make it to the beach for an all out assault on the game of Volleyball, and yes, they just happen to be wearing as little as possible. However, the volleyball itself isn't really the point of the game, it's about treating your volleyball partner correctly.
 The game lets you compete in two different modes, the main mode or the versus mode, which accommodates up to four players at one time. It's time to get physical with the ladies as they set, spike, and kill their way to the championship title on the tropical beach resort, Zack Island. The more points you receive on the court, the more you can customize your characters with over 100 swimsuits and accessories. This is a game where less is more. Digital babes... hubba hubba! Let the games commence!
