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.
Don't forget to send us an email at [email protected].
We discuss the possibility of the 360 Friend List cap going up to 200, decide not to get the collector's edition of Resident Evil 5, and Steven gets angry that FF XIII won't be out this year. Jason and Steven get in a friendly co-op scuffle in Call of Duty: World at War. Then round out the show with the NPD numbers for December.

Yes, that is the title. I find it funny. If you listen to the show you'll know why as well. This week we decide to plunk down the cash to get joysticks and gamepads for Street Fighter 4, as well as weep for the fall of a game coverage giant. Jason joins the Battle for Asgard and Steven hates on Halo 2. Plus, we give you a brand new Top 5.

In what is our first and hopefully longest episode of the year, we give all you faithful listeners our picks for the greatest games of the year. Jason rattles off his stats for World at War and gives us his take on the new Resident Evil movie. Steven finds that the impossible is possible (barely) in Dead Space and heads off for a weekend getaway in The House of The Dead. We sprint past the news in less than 3 minutes and get the show on the Zune Marketplace. Tune in for the big reveal of our Games of the Year.

Its the last podcast of the year 2008 and we stuff your stockings with a ton of gaming goodness. The November NPDs are out and even with the bad economy, console sales are up. Jason goes treasure hunting with Lara Croft and throws some hadokens in Ryu's general direction. Steven finds himself out of air in Dead Space and tries out an MMORPG beta. Have a merry Christmas, a happy Hanukkah, and a great New Year.

Just a quick post to let everyone know that episode 35 will not be out until next week. Life is like that some times.
Still playing Dead Space, still loving the hell out of the creepy factor. If you like Resident Evil 4, you will love Dead Space.
Tune in next week for the last episode of 2008.
