After being announced (http://www.joystiq.com/2010/09/16/kinect-comes-to-xbla-microsoft-game-studios-reveals-five-japane/) at the 2010 Tokyo Game Show and scheduled for a 2011 release it never made, Fire Pro-Wrestling (http://www.joystiq.com/tag/fire-pro-wrestling) resurfaces and is now available on the Xbox Marketplace (http://marketplace.xbox.com/en-US/Product/Fire-Pro-Wrestling/66acd000-77fe-1000-9115-d80258410a82?cid=majornelson). Developed by Japanese studio Spike, the Avatar-ed version of one of gaming's oldest series (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fire_Pro_Wrestling) is priced at 800 MSP.

Apart from throwing you into 3D wrestling action, FPW uses the Avatar FameStar (http://www.joystiq.com/2012/07/20/avatar-famestar-introduces-persistent-cross-game-rewards-to-x/) cross-game reward program. So while you can obtain suitably outlandish garb for your Avatar using in-game currency, you can also earn themed costumes based on other FameStar games like Full House Poker (http://www.joystiq.com/tag/full-house-poker)andWreckateer (http://www.joystiq.com/tag/wreckateer). There's offline and online multiplayer for 2-4 players, with tag matches, team matches (2 on 2, 1 on 2, or 1 on 3), 4-way matches, and battle royals.
