A Hulk Hogan news item receiving buzz in the video game industry Friday is a new "Hulk Hogan's Main Event" game hitting the market in fall 2011.

The video game will be exclusive to the Xbox 360 platform, playable on the Kinect system. The game's makers are attempting to put a twist on the wrestling video game genre by incorporating "showmanship" into the playing experience.

According to a press release, gamers will be able to "build their own wrestling personalities and learn the art of showmanship to win over the crowd."

The full details on this aspect reads: "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’s 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."
