You Asked For It, You Got It -- Hulk Hogan, Majesco, And Kinect Together At Last
Pro wrestling icon and current Impact Wrestling personality Hulk Hogan (pictured above with his wife and daughter...I'll leave it up to you to figure which is which) has joined forces with Majesco to create Hulk Hogan's Main Event for Kinect.
Says Hogan, “Listen up, people! You will feel the power of Hulkamania when you step into this game. Whether you are taking the damage or selling the pain, this game will let you unleash your inner wrestler as you hype up the crowd while putting the hurt on anyone that stands in your way!”
The press release says the game will let players use Kinect to perform over 30 combos, emulate Hulk's famous poses, or create their own wrestler. It's interesting that Hogan's quote mentions how you'll have to "sell the pain," as I'm not sure how that would work in a wrestling game. "Selling" is the wrestling term for acting like an opponent's punch or move hurts, so I'm curious if the game will require you to stagger back or act hurt when you're on the defensive.
No matter what, I'm going to keep my eye on this game. It should be...interesting?
