GAME
The Incredible Hulk: Ultimate Destruction System: X-Box, PS2, Gamecube, PC
★★★
Let's face it. Everyone, at some point in his or her life, has wanted to pull a light
post out of the ground and run down a city block using it to smash everything in sight. Well, maybe not everyone. But for those who have, Radical Entertainment has just the game for you.
The Incredible Hulk: Ultimate Destruction gives players control of the
ticular character — the alter ego of mildmannered Dr. Bruce Banner. He suffers from a condition that transforms him into a massive, green giant every time he gets mad. The story centers on his search for a cure, which is constantly hindered by the U.S. government as it hunts him down. Destruction ensues.
Gameplay is fast-paced and consistently entertaining. The Hulk's repertoire of
moves is enormous, as is the city that the game takes place in. Players can run up walls, leap over buildings and even snap cars in half to use them as gloves. Unfortunately, the game's missions are occasionally lacking and are often repetitive. Additionally, the
graphics are pretty simplistic. But this is understandable, given the huge size of the environments.
Overall, Destruction is a solid title that should appeal to fans of the comic or action games in general.

I am a sucker for bargains. And ladies, lets just say the cup runneth over at Kieu's. Every time I shop at this store (for my friends...don't get any crazy images in your head), I see racks of cute, clearance, BCBG-esque dresses, summer bottoms, shoes and jeans.
The color spectrum is alive in the store, where hanging displays are lined with autumnal hues, grays and flashy teals, pinks and oranges.
Kieu's has an array of shirt styles and colors, especially spaghetti-strap tops and flowing blouses, softened by silky fabrics with funky, geometric patterns. An extra bonus is the Kieu's shoe selection: it's trendy, diverse and surprisingly large.
Look for cute, round-toed flats and embroidered, point-toed heels, styles
reminiscent of those found in the September issue of Cosmopolitan.
**Price Range:** Tops run in price anywhere from the $20 to $30. More elaborate styles are priced around $40. Mini and peasant skirts range from $30 to $40. Pants are priced $40 to $70 with the most expensive, great-fitting jeans are $90. Find the best deals on the north-wall shoe rack, where flats and heels range from $22 to $30 and a few boot styles can be found for $35.
Best For: Kieu's has great club attire options. The styles are cute, stylish and affordable, but Kieu's is specifically a petite, apparel collection. So shop accordingly.
