Checkmate Arcade Ep. 47 - The NPD Evil

I, the editor of the show, would like to apologize to all the listeners of the show. This episode is quiet late and for that I am sorry, but when you contract a virus that could scare off the T-Virus it makes it hard to do anything other then sleep. So, what do you get inside this late episode? The NPD numbers for February, Sony gets more bad PR, Konami promotes Mr. Kojima, and much more. Plus, Jason buys the $10 dollar map pack for World at War and Steven decimates the Covenant in Halo Wars. Tune in for the fun.

Checkmate Arcade Ep. 45 - Grenade Throw

This episode is a doozy folks, with Amazon getting in to the used game biz and Square gobbling up Eidos we do a lot of verbal sparing. Topic derailment is in great supply this week as well. Jason fights through the pain of having his thumb cut in two places, to give us his impressions of MLB The Show '09. Steven ruins a controller with Street Fighter 4 and busts out the air support in Halo Wars. Plus we give you our top 5 Most Anticipated Games With Release Dates Between March 09 and March 2010. Tune in for the controller busting fun.

Checkmate Arcade Ep. 44 - Midnight Release

This could be the year of the PSP, we tell you why or why not in this episode. Jason woos more people to the PS3 camp and does some killing in Killzone 2. Steven gets to the bottom of why Jason needs a melee move in all shooters and declares Call of Duty 4 the best shooter ever made. We find out the price of entry for the Watchmen game, Jason says no, Steven says yes. Plus, we talk weather and Jason runs off to a midnight launch.
