Kinect with Hulk Hogan’s Main Event this Fall
Majesco and developer Panic Button will run wild on your living room this Fall, exclusively for Kinect, in Hulk Hogan’s Main Event for the Xbox 360.
The game promises all the fun of being Hulk Hogan including training sessions with the Hulkster on the art of showmanship (and posing) as well as a full-fledged Kinect-based wrestling game:
In Hulk Hogan’s Main Event, players will learn the ropes from the man himself as Hulk Hogan schools them on delivering the best show for the crowd by emulating famous Hulk poses and performing more than 30 punishing combos. The Kinect sensor tracks players’ every move; the more dynamic the motion, the more high impact the wrestler’s performance is. Players will create their own unique wrestler personality through a robust create-a-wrestler feature including many choices for face, hair, tattoos, outfit, ethnicity, body type, and entrance music. Perform in nine different venues including the backyard brawl, local gym and giant stadium in front of a massive audience. Enter tournament mode for two player tag-team and take turns delivering extreme moves. Best of all, players can wield a variety of damaging objects including metal chairs and ladders to deliver bone-jarring hits to their opponents.
“Listen up, people! You will feel the power of Hulkamania when you step into this game,” said Hulk Hogan. “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!”
Well said Hulk, well said.

House of the Dead: Overkill gets extended on PS3
Holy ****! Agent G and Detective Isaac Washington bring their grindhouse antics to the PS3 for the first time in The House of the Dead: Overkill – Extended Cut. And just for ***** and giggles, the pair plans to add Move support, two exclusive levels, high definition graphics and eye-popping 3D gameplay.
Thankfully, all of the ****ing naughty language (which there was a lot of) and bullets (which there was more of) return as well.
“The House of the Dead: Overkill – Extended Cut on PlayStation 3 will send players to the shrieking mad heart of mutant mayhem. This time we went further, faster and bloodier than before. We extended everything, even the title,” said Gary Knight of Sega.
The House of the Dead: Overkill – Extended Cut will be released on October 25, just in time for Halloween. But Sega won’t make us wait that long to learn more as the game will be shown at E3. You can also get an eyeful of the first four screenshots after the break. (more…)
