Checkmate Arcade Ep. 53 - Aim For The Nuts

This episode is sponsored by NFL doctors, who remind you to always wear a cup. That's a joke by the way. Jason, however, does break some bones and some nuts in Blitz 2 on the 360. He also grabs a buster sword and dices up classic FF7 monsters on the go in Crisis Core on the PSP. Steven apologizes for the delay in finishing the editing last episode and blames it all on Fable 2 for the 360. Plus, arguments galore in the news. So tune in and wear your cup for this installment.

Checkmate Arcade Ep. 52 - My Left, You're Right

Surprise! There's a surprise inside this episode, but its buried under some audio gremlins. Don't fret too much though, will still give you the biggest news of the week and rundown what we've been playing. Jason finds time to go under cover at a local GameStop to play the demo for MLB 09: The Show on the PS3, before playing 14 other games. Okay, so maybe he wasn't under cover, but it sure sounds like it. Steven doesn't do anything exciting, but he does have time play the demo for Operation Darkness on the 360. I'll just let that speak for itself. Tune in and turn it up.

Checkmate Arcade Ep. 51 - OutRun The Night

In this episode, your semi-insane hosts go off topic with Yu-Gi-Oh! video games and analyzing a wedding. They get back on topic by discussing a new Fallout game, Street Fighter 4's free championship mode, and what price is right for downloadable maps. Jason rants about PC gaming and Capcom gives Steven an aneurysm. Tune in for a fun little hootenanny.
