Checkmate Arcade Ep. 66 - And A Dash Of Blood

Episode from 08-22-2009.

Sorry about the late episode folks, computer problems and all that fun stuff. This week the show is stuffed to the gills with news. Among the 30 stories, we find out if Sony will ever drop the price of the PS3(hint: the answer is yes) and when MAG will be released. Jason plays his last fight in UFC for a good long while and gets a hankering for some Doritos in Dash of Destruction. Steven finishes off Magic: The Gathering and heads out west for some gunfights in Call of Juarez: Bound in Blood. Plus, we have the NPDs for July.

Checkmate Arcade Ep. 64 - Fat Heroes

This week the hosts discuss princesses who eat too much cake, whether to get Marvel VS Capcom 2 on the PS3 or 360, why next year is getting crowded with good games, and the finer points of backing up important server data. Plus, they go over the retail game releases for August and make a bet on eBay sale prices of a classic game. All that and more in this gut busting episode. Mmm, cake...

Checkmate Arcade Ep. 63 - Boy Meets Girl

Episode from 07/30/09.

Ah, Skype, she is a fickle mistress. So many problems with the audio in this episode, but the fact that we have a girl as a guest should make up for that. You also may like the discussions about Dissidia: Final Fantasy, Magic: The Gathering, the Madden NFL 2010 demos, the Gears of War 2: All Fronts map pack, and Paper Boy. Lots of news this week, on top of the interview. So, set up your lawn chair and get out the sunscreen, cause this episode is hotter than the sun. Oh wait, I'm just on fire, again. Where did I put that fire extinguisher?
