Welcome to the Checkmate Arcade, your home for quarter munching fun. Each week we'll tell you what video games we've been playing and give you the hottest news right off the presses. We'll throw in the NPD numbers, top 5 lists, and release dates that are Coming Soon to round out the show as well. So, come on by each week for a great time.

This week we've got Street Fighter on the brain as we count the hours until the game is in stores. In the mean time Jason goes old school with Sonic's Ultimate Genesis Collection and he brushes up on his fighting skills in Turbo HD Remix. Steven's soul still burns for Soul Calibur 4 and he hops on a warthog to test drive the Halo Wars demo. The news dam breaks and we get flooded with 24 stories to send your way. We promise next week the features will return... unless the news gets crazy again.

Sorry for the delay folks, but we had some problems getting this episode recorded. This week we discuss Comic Con NY and what was on display for video games. Steven gives us his first impressions for some of the big name titles on the show floor. Jason searches for Alma in F.E.A.R. 2, then heads for Europe to play the uncut version of MK vs DC. The news is overflowing this week so there's no room for a feature. So, hop on that treadmill and join the fun.

This week the show may seem long, but don't be fooled. Only the fist hour and a half is video game related, the rest is about the cancellation of official UDE support for the VS System card game. For those of you interested in only the first half though, we have a great show for you. We try out the RE5 demo and discover that Steven needs to practice his teamwork skills. He, also goes through the roof with anger for God of War 2 and cools off with some World at War multiplayer. Jason hops in his DeLorean to go back to the future in Chrono Trigger and gets a beat down from a bag of bones in Order of Ecclesia. Plus, a metric ton of new game announcements in the news.

The new episode will be out later today. I didn't have time to finish it last night.
Sorry for the delay.
What happens when two game companies merge? They need a new name, obviously. Steven tries to help speed up the process by offering his input. For his effort, he gets gutted by Kratos from God of War 2. Jason consoles himself by joining the military in Valkyria Chronicles and by playing more then double the number of games Steven did this week. Plus we throw in our Top 5 Favorite Old School Game Endings. Its a long one this week, so kick back and enjoy.
