"The PSP gets the bulk of the new games in this week's Playstation Store update while the bulk of the quality PS3 additions are on the DLC side. Take a journey into the mystery of "The Taxidermist" for Heavy Rain, partake in some feasting with Dragon Age: Origins, or hop on to Ryo's forklift for Sonic & Sega All-Stars Racing. And don't forget to check out the thirteen new songs from Jimi Hendrix for Rock Band."
"A thin week for releases but that is probably welcome after the glut of quality releases the last few weeks. The PC only gets one new release for this week; Mount & Blade: Warband which has players riding horses across battlefields. Meanwhile, the Xbox 360 finally gets MegaMan 10 and adds a new entry in the classic fighting series Samuari Showdown SEN."
"Dead or Alive: Paradise director Yoshinori Ueda has told Eurogamer that his PSP game is not supposed to be softcore pornography nor degrading towards women, despite titillating promotional videos and a marketing slogan that reads, "Paradise in the palm of your hand."
"That's certainly not something we're intentionally going for," he said. "From our perspective, we're trying to make beautiful women, that has been the focus - we want our characters to be beautiful. The DOA characters are st..."
"Dead or Alive: Paradise sees all your favourite Dead or Alive girls venture to New Zack Island in search of some relaxation, along with some new friends. Players will be able to mingle, flirt, play, take snapshots, and challenge the girls in various mini-games found throughout your private island, as well as visit the revamped casino run by the enigmatic Rio."
The ESRB recently had to pull their summary of Dead or Alive: Paradise, as it subjectively described the game as having "creepy voyeurism" and a "bizarre, misguided notion of what women really want".

But Tecmo weren't too upset with the description of their game. In fact, they thanked the ESRB for it, then released a brand new batch of screenshots fit for gamers' "creepy voyeuristic" ple...
"Dead or Alive Paradise is the next entry of the famed Dead or Alive series in the vacation/volleyball genre. Heavy with sexual content, partially thanks to the clad bikinis and sexually oriented mini-games featuring subtle innuendos, Dead or Alive Paradise will likely be enjoyed by the audience that found pleasure in the Dead or Alive: Xtreme Volleyball titles. The official box art is now revealed and it's all kinds of sexy."
Today, the ESRB removed their online ratings summary for Dead or Alive: Paradise due to its inappropriate content. The original summary said that the game contained "creepy voyeurism," and a "bizarre, misguided notion of what women really want". It also flatly stated that "Paradise cannot mean straddling felled tree trunks in dental-floss thongs."
The ESRB apologized for the "subjective" summary and have now released a more appropriate one.
"Tecmo Koei Europe Ltd has today announced that the next installment of the hugely popular Dead or Alive series – Dead or Alive: Paradise – will arrive in European stores this Spring, exclusively on PlayStation Portable (PSP). Featuring all the Dead or Alive lovelies, basking in the tropical sun of ‘New Zack Island’ you will be able to mingle, flirt, play, take snapshots, and challenge the girls in various mini-games found throughout your private island in one of the best looking PSP games yet."
