The DOA community manager’s words (albeit, broken) have reignited a gender war within the already fragile gaming community, once again causing folks to draw lines in the sand. One person who supports bringing DOA to the West is none other than YouTube’s GamingAnarchist.

Is GA on the money? I’ll let you decide. No judgements here. However, I will point out that if you do like the words that fall out of his snarling visage then you can check out more of his work over on YouTube. On the flip side, if you don’t…well, maybe this is more your steez…

As for Xtreme 3, it looks like the game’s publisher isn’t budging on bringing the title to the US or Europe. So if you’re insistent then your best bet is to import a copy thanks to Play-Asia.
