I suppose I could have worked out that it was Mexican, whatever it turned out to be, but that was the extent of my understanding. Today, after a press trip and some extensive research into the area (read: five minutes of wikipedia'ing), I know all there is to know on the subject. Well, the key points at least. To relay this new found knowledge to you (in case you find yourself in the same state of bewilderment I did), Lucha Libre is a Mexican style of wrestling with a fetish for masks. To translate from the Spanish, the term literally means 'free wrestling' or 'free fighting', and incorporates a variety of moves mostly characterised by holds".
Surprisingly, Duke Nukem Forever JUST missed the cut.
Lol @ the video posted for blackwater. That game looks horrible.
Most of these are downloadable from the various stores and I haven't heard of half of them...
PlayDevil has posted an XBLA review of "Lucha Fury".
More:
"For the uninitiated the word Lucha comes from Lucha Libre which is a form of wrestling which stems from Mexico and features combatants known as Luchadores whom hide their true identities under masked guises."
Chris W. writes: "Lucha Fury is a good-looking game, and you can tell that Punchers Impact treated the game as a labor of love. Four luchador wrestlers (who are also slackers) come together to stop a shortage of their favorite energy drink only to stumble upon something more sinister; this is no normal shortage. Ancient Gods are stealing the world’s supply of Pollojo, because they don’t think the human race deserves to have it. Quite a silly premise for a story, but is it enough to keep you entertained throughout the game?"
