The game is everything in that description nonetheless

This is surely an embarrassing situation for those "behind the scene" over at Xbox Live, but heck, what would this world be without a little booboo every now and then, coming from the big guys responsible for the heavy work of pasting downloadable demo descriptions? The picture to

your left is what happened. As you can see, Dead or Alive 4 is described as "stimulating," Joystiq reports. Hey, that's quite accurate really!

The fourth installment of Dead or Alive focuses on the story of Helena, the young woman taking over the mantle of DOATEC as its second chairman. Since it was released, Dead or Alive 4 has been given rave reviews by numerous gaming magazines and websites. Some say it's the greatest in the series, thanks to a revamped fighting system, gorgeous graphics and great online play.

For a game of such "beauty," "mighty magnificent stimulating graceful fighting," is the proper description, although that wasn't meant for this game in particular. The thing is that description there is meant for public consumption, XBLA staff should really be more careful about their work. If this is also the case with who designed the Xbox 360, I think we have our answer to why so many users experience the infamous red ring of death.

But hey, they're people too and people make mistakes. If I were to go back to my articles to see what's 100% accurate and what's not, I'm sure I'll find that I said things like: "Nintendo's Virtual Konsole is the company's latest rolled out gaming system, featuring HDRF (hard drive running fast) and Green-raee players." OK, no, but I'm sure I messed up some game descriptions too.
