DOA fans rejoice at the news that Techmo is finally revisiting the popular fighting series, Dead or Alive. The newest title, Dead or Alive 5, promises all the passion that the series is known for as well as new gameplay and styles that are sure to pull in new players to the series. Techmo has released several pieces of reveal content showing off the new game’s graphics and gameplay. So, how is the game? Let’s take a short look.

The first thing I noticed with what the game has to offer is that new characters from the popular Virtua Fighters series have been inserted into this new fighter. Besides the featured guests, the game also has a new look and feel. The core gameplay looks to be in tact, but the updated feel gives a conservative feeling of progression. The new fighting title is currently being developed by Team Ninja and will launch on the PS3 and Xbox 360 on September 25, 2012. Catch a cool video of the game below.

I heard dead stars still produces their own lights… then what’s the difference between an alive star and a dead star. Also, What does it mean when a star dies… doesn’t it mean like it explodes or anything like that?
something dead is not suppose to produce anything… in this case (light)

Just a Taker vs Hbk is not enough to make things spicy.
The match should be a ‘dead or alive’ match or atleast a
Buried Alive match.

I adore Dead or Alive, especially Kasumi.
So I’m wondering are there any other games that have a character similar to her?

I looked on the FBI web site and the CIA wanted list. Kinda political about it ( Rewards for the information leading up to the capture of wanted fugitives) don’t attempt to capture them yourself ! What happened to the old west ! how about this (1 million dollars wanted dead or alive Mr. Billy Bad M FR go get em) !
Hell can you even bring a dead fugitive in to the police department, and say there he be boys wheres my money? What would happen ?

When a person has a disease and they look for it in a blood work while that person is alive will they find that same disease in a person when they do a blood work even if the person is dead? I mean will they see the same thing?

For example if you ask someone if they’re single or married or something, it’s called “maritial status”. Is there a term like this for if someone is dead or alive?

This may be a strange question, but I truly am curious…If you could be in an English/writing class led by any author, dead or alive, who would you choose?

My dental hygienist says it’s dead. The pamphlet from my endodontist says it’s alive and continues to be “nourished” by surrounding tissue.
