The DTOID Show: Bat-Saints, Skyward Jets & Max Payne 3 screenshot

Brosephs and homeladies -- We have survived the week, and come before you with another episode of the hallowed Destructoid Show.

Since today is a Friday, we had a contest. The prize this week was a copy of High Flyer Death Defyer, a neat little iOS game that came out this week. After that, we went over some of the highlights from the latest preview for The Legend Of Zelda: Skyward Sword. There are also new trailers for that. Tara's excited because there are baby animals in the latest version of Minecraft, and I'm excited because Saints Row The Third looks hella retarded. Robin looks cool in Arkham City, too. Tara runs down the upcoming DLC for Warhammer 40K: Space Marine.

We had Destructoid's shark communications minister (or something) on to talk about Battlefield 3, Modern Warfare 3, and Max Payne 3. There are jets in one of those games. Also, I bullet-time punched Hamza in the face.

Spoiler Alert: Next week is going to be our 1-year-anniversary giveaway spectacular. Tune in, we've got cool stuff to give away.

SteelSeries offering the ultimate dorm room

SteelSeries offering the ultimate dorm room screenshot

As a college student, few things were more depressing than clearing out of the dorms at the end of the year. I can vividly remember tearing a year's worth of memories off the four walls I'd come to call home, saying goodbye to dear friends, and leaving a sad, empty husk behind for next year's residents. But what if your dorm room already looks like a cheerless, barren, shell? Well then, the Danish gaming gearsmiths over at SteelSeries want to give you the hook up.

If you're willing to show off the inside of your tin can you'll have a chance to win an Xbox 360, 32 inch flatscreen, gaming laptop, six months of GameFly rentals and other accessories. Head over to SteelSeries' website for more details, then post a photo of your room on their Facebook page for a chance to win. Just be sure to make that room look really pathetic. No-one is going to take pity on the guy with a collection of empty Patrón bottles on his desk.

Might & Magic: Clash of Heroes DLC lets you be
the boss

Might & Magic: Clash of Heroes DLC lets you be the boss screenshot

If you didn't play Might & Magic: Clash of Heroes either when it released for Nintendo DS or later in its fancy, shiny high-definition version, you're missing one of the most strategic and clever puzzle games in recent memory. Its combination of role-playing elements and simple gameplay was endlessly satisfying and I'd highly recommend it to anyone who likes a casual puzzle game with a little meat on its bones.

Ubisoft has released new downloadable content for the game with the "I Am the Boss" expansion. The new content makes four of the game's bosses playable in multiplayer and is available now on Xbox Live Arcade, PlayStation Network and Steam for $2.99 (240 MS points).

LEGO Harry Potter: Years 5-7 shows off some more gameplay screenshot

LEGO Harry Potter: Years 5-7 is coming out next month (November 11th), and to celebrate the almost-release, Warner Brothers Entertainment and TT Games have put out a new trailer. Its more LEGO and Harry Potter so there shouldn't be any surprises here.

If you haven't played any of the LEGO games, I suggest you do so, and if Batman, Indiana Jones or Star Wars isn't your thing, maybe you should try Harry Potter. Its wizards and comedy, which can't be a bad thing. Seriously, go play some LEGO games.

Serious Sam: The Random Encounter is almost here

Serious Sam: The Random Encounter is almost here screenshot

The lovely folks at Vlambeer (makers of the brilliant Super Crate Box and Radical Fishing) sent me the latest trailer for their upcoming addition to the Serious Sam legacy, which takes the fast-paced, backwards-running action of the first-person shooter and twists it into a retro-RPG. Allistair Pinsoff got hooked on the combination and I'm expecting it to be a hell of a lot of fun to play.

Serious Sam: The Random Encounter will release on October 24th for Steam for a mere $4.99. It's Vlambeer's first commercial effort and I'm really pulling for them because this looks charming as hell.

Fruit Ninja: Puss in Boots slashes onto iOS on Oct 20 screenshot

Halfbrick, the developer of Raskulls, Jetpack Joyride, and the hugely popular Fruit Ninja series has just announced a new title in the portable slicing genre. Fruit Ninja: Puss in Boots will be releasing on October 20 at a price of $0.99 for iPhone and $1.99 for iPad.

On top of the DreamWorks fantasy themed visuals, Fruit Ninja: Puss in Boots will also feature an array of new weapons and two new game modes. Desperado Mode puts a new spin on Fruit Ninja's Classic Mode of gameplay with new items and enhanced waves; Bandito Mode introduces four tiers of slicing and chopping challenges that will test even the most experienced blade masters.

This looks to be an interesting addition to the Fruit Ninja series, and the price point is great too! If you haven't given Fruit Ninja a try yet, and you happen to love adorable CG cats, I would look into this version.
