Review: Dead or Alive Dimensions (3DS)
I never thought a portable game system would be a good home for fighters, but here we are. It’s only been about two months since the release of Nintendo’s new handheld and we already have three high profile fighting franchises to choose from: Street Fighter, BlazBlue, and Dead or Alive.
Dead or Alive Dimensions is a sort of collection in a way. It covers the story of all four of the previous games and the 25 character roster boasts the largest in the series, while at the same time not adding any new characters (completely missing the opportunity for a playable Samus).

Barrel Roll! #118 - “You’re the Inspiration”
On a very emotional episode of the Barrel Roll Podshow, the guys discover that the band Chicago is too powerful to include in a rhythm game without reducing the player to a blubbering mess of tears and regret.
After two and a half years of Jesse praising Valkyria Chronicles, Jonah has finally given the game a chance. As it turns out, it is fantastic. He also finally gave the DSiWare service some love and bought WayForward’s Mighty Milky Way. Adam has gone back to one of his favorite DS games, Rhythm Heaven and also put in more time with Minecraft. Adam 2 has been obsessively playing Knights in the Nightmare, a game that even after multiple explanations, Jonah still doesn’t quite understand, as well as Neuroshima Hex, another game that Jonah is both fascinated and confused by.
As usual, the guys also talk about the new releases of the week, and gaming news. There is also a song by one “Main Finger” McCoolahan, “Scorched Ice (Napalm Man vs. Chill Man)”. For all these reasons and more, you should already be downloading episode #118, “You’re the Inspiration”.
