Dennis Rodman joins Dead or Alive

Tecmo has announced that former NBA player Dennis Rodman will provide the voice of Zack in Tecmo's Dead or Alive: Xtreme Beach Volleyball. The game places characters from Dead or Alive 3 in a resort setting to play some volleyball. Players can customize these characters with a variety of items and even venture into other parts of the island, which contains a theater and a casino.

"I am a big fan of the Dead or Alive series and was flattered when Tecmo asked me to play Zack," Rodman said. "He is one wild character, just like me, and a bit of a prankster, which I can relate to. And Dead or Alive: Xtreme Beach Volleyball is my kind of game, if you know what I mean."

Dead or Alive: Xtreme Beach Volleyball is scheduled for release on the Xbox early next year.
