In anticipation for the release of DOA Ultimate, IGN has brought us "The History of Dead or Alive". They give us a detailed rundown of each game in the series, claiming that Tecmo is where it is today because of the franchise. Now I'm not denying that fact, but I was just wondering what it is that makes these games stand out. And then it hit me. It's got to be those gorgeous graphics. Well, we'll see where looks can take them when Ultimate struts onto the scene in October. Perhaps the series will finally be able to challenge the likes of Tekken and Virtua Fighter after all. Seriously though, DOA is an underrated contender in the 3D Fighting genre, and you should all mark your calendars for October 4.
