I've always been a fan a the Dead or Alive series. t' this day, the story a me colleague Ludwig's visit t' The States back in 2007 'n how we played DOA 4 for hours straight at our boss' house (much t' his chagrin) be one a the fondest memories a me life. it be been too long since I've had me fix, so ye can be sure I be looking forward t' Dead or Alive 5.

At a recent event in San Francisco, Team Ninja brought out the first playable build a DOA 5. For fans concerned after Tomonobu Itagaki's departure from Tecmo, 'n based on the time I've spent with the game, it be a non-issue. Well, mostly.
