Assassin's Creed III NEW GAMEPLAY! Epic Mickey: Power of Illusion PREVIEW & Borderlands 2 GORE!

Monday, September 24th, 2012 – running time 15:13

I hope you're excited for Assassin's Creed III, because we've got PLENTY to say about it on today's show! In other news, Mark of the Ninja is coming to Steam next month, Epic Mickey: Power of Illusion is going to be the next great 3DS game, and some fans think Borderlands 2 isn't gory enough!

Episode 367 of the Destructoid Show:

Preview: Assassin's Creed III is Bigger in Every Way

Up until recently, I've been exposed to Assassin Creed III in small doses. I saw an early glimpse of what to expect at the reveal event, enjoyed the new multiplayer offerings, and had fun sailing the seas. Yet in all this time, I was never really able to go hands-on with the core single-player experience. (Hamza Aziz)

Borderlands 2 Lowers the Gore, Upsets the Fans

Playing as a sniper in Borderlands meant that you got to see a lot of heads pop in juicy showers of blood and eyeballs. Going through Borderlands 2 with a similar build, I started to notice that headshots were no longer satisfying, as skulls remains defiantly shatterproof. I'm not alone. (Jim Sterling)

Preview: Epic Mickey: Power of Illusion is Pure Magic

I was invited to Walt Disney World in Orlando to attend a Power of Illusion demonstration led by Junction Point's Warren Spector and DreamRift's creative director Peter Ong. After the duo ran through the game's creation, I was able to hop onto one of the 3DS units available and play a few areas, including the newly unveiled Aladdin-themed environment. (Tony Ponce)
