Dead or Alive fans have reason to rejoice: Team Ninja has finally revealed Dead or Alive 5 for the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360, and it’s marketing the game as “fighting entertainment.”

If you follow my game-related ramblings on Twitter, you know that I recently spotted a Tecmo Bowl Throwback plug on one of ESPN‘s late afternoon/early evening sports programs. As a long time fan of the franchise, I was admittedly geeked; not just for the exposure that the legendary series has garnered, but also for the [...]
Whispers of Tecmo Bowl Throwback made its rounds through the internets a few weeks back, but now the game has crossed over from the realm of rumor to that of reality.

Sports commentators often [...]

Players such as Jim Brown (who dropped out of NHL High to take up the noble causes of social activism, bad [...]
