Dead Or Alive Ultimate (Xbox)

One of the best fighting games on Xbox gets a kind of overhaul for Xbox Live. The idea is that Tecmo rebuilt DOA2 (DOA3 was an Xbox launch title) with their latest graphics engine, redesigned the environments, gave each character a ridiculous number of unlockable costumes and made it playable online. So in some ways, it feels brand new (check out the environments!) and in others a bit of a rehash (no new characters or moves). But regardless, it seriously rocks, and even some laggy online matches (a prevalent issue) don’t detract too much from the thrill of taking down the champ in it’s unique 8-player, winner-stays matches. You get to the watch the action and commentate while you wait your turn to take on the winner. Plus the fanboys get pretty excited if you’ve taken the trouble to unlock some sexy costumes for the ladies.
