Virtua Fighter’s Akira will either be Dead or Alive
Mar 5th
Team Ninja likes playing with other people’s toys. After making a pretty decent Metroid game for Nintendo and borrowing Samus for a cameo in Dead or Alive Dimensions, Team Ninja is looking fondly at Sega’s Virtua Fighter series.
The good people at VG24/7 report that Akira of Virtua Fighter fame will be making an appearance in Team Ninja’s upcoming Dead or Alive 5. Screenshots and videos have already flooded the Internet and, so far, it looks to be a good match. Hopefully this might lead to more Sega crossovers down the road.

Meet the hollow children in this new Binary Domain trailer
Feb 22nd
The hollow children are cybords that look human and don’t know that they are cybords. They have infiltrated a big part of human society without anyone noticing as is shown in this trailer.
I had my doubts about the game, but now that I have played 6 hours of it, I can assure you that it’s quite good!
When you are done playing the Binary Domain demo, you can check out this new trailer
Feb 15th
Just as I was done playing the Binary Domain demo which is available on XBLA and PSN, this new trailer popped up and gave me even more to look forward too. It’s basically just a cutscene, but it shows you that the Yakuza team actually put some thought into the story and the universe the game has. While the writing isn’t that good, the direction sure makes up for it.
So, are you looking forward to the game now that you’ve had a glimpse at the story and played the demo?
