VU Games just launched a pre-sell campaign for the forthcoming GameCube, PS2 and Xbox game, The Incredible Hulk: Ultimate Destruction. The game hits store shelves on August 23rd, but if you pre-order/reserve a copy now, you'll also get a free limited edition reprint of Marvel’s original The Incredible Hulk #1 as written by Stan Lee and illustrated by Jack Kirby back in 1962, which tells the story of how Hulk came to be. The bonus comic book also features new specially, commissioned covers by renowned artists, James Palmiotti, Amanda Conner, and Paul Mounts. Developed by the recently acquired Radical Entertainment, formerly known as the indie game studio of middling caliber movie and TV license knock-offs and bad hockey, The Incredible Hulk: Ultimate Destruction offers exactly everything you want in a Hulk game. Specifically, destructible everything in a huge, wide-open world a la Grand Theft Auto, where anything you see is pick-up-and-throwable, smashable, climbable and leapable in those patented thousand foot leaps; to coin a phrase, incredibly ultimate.
