Hey, partner! Better strap those chaps* on and saddle up, because it's time for another Wednesday edition of The Destructoid Show!
On today's show, Max announces the latest installment of Ubisoft's annual Assassin's Creed series, before graciously endowing Far Cry 3 with 'worst trailer of the year" award. (His words, not mine!) Later in the program, I give some new details on Resident Evil 6 and provide a quick rundown of Jim's Gotham City Impostors review.
Also, big congratulations to viewer Chai, who won our contest for a custom Infinity Blade II Astro A30 headset. In fact, we got so many great entries, I decided to include them all in the gallery of this post. Go check them out, and then sob uncontrollably at your lack of artistic talent!

I wanted to like Far Cry 2, but there were sooo many other good games at the time, so it was easy to brush it aside, but Far Cry 3 looks impressive (minus the trailer, I like dub, but it was really dumb).
As for Assassins Creed... well *sigh* I love the series, but yearly entries have slowly deteriorated my interest in it. When AC3 releases, there need to be MAJOR changes, not necessarily in the mechanics, but in overall gameplay. I have faith in the guys at Ubi!
Destructoid is an open discussion community. You don't need to "audition" to post a comment - just speak your mind. We respect differing opinions on the site, so have at it. Be smart, funny, insightful, clueless, or cute -- but back it up with substance. Keep your cool, keep it fun. We only ask that you act respectfully and above all: don't be a troll and ruin it for everyone else. Don't bring down gamers or we'll, you know, gently shoot you in the face and stuff you into a flaming mailbox. Each comment is your opportuntity to make this community awesomer. Is that even a word?
Avoiding the banhammer only requires common sense: spamming, trolling, racism, NSFW stuff, and other forms of sucking will not be tolerated. If anyone is griefing please report abuse. Be good. Don't suck!
