Checkmate Arcade Podcast

Not gonna lie, Jason gets a little crazy this episode. Tune in to find out why Hulk Hogan is not his hero. Plus, we talk about games, the news, and the NPD numbers for December.

This week we almost get into the long delayed discussion about digital distribution, but we push it off for a few more weeks. Instead, we give you a Top 5 and a ton of news. Jason goes back in time to play some Street Fighter 4 on the 360 and rents a copy of Bayonetta. Steven slinks around in the shadows in Batman: Arkham Asylum and has some cool stories from Modern Warfare 2. Don't forget your official Checkmate Decoder Ring for this episode.

Listen in to see what wins in each category. Do you really need any other reason to visit our humble abode? Well, if you do, we also talk about the games we played and give you a very small news section.

The year is quickly coming to a close and we help you close it out in style. The hosts recount their holiday happenings with much merriment and a few power tools. Jason's gaming was a little more family friendly this week as he played Hasbro Family Game Night and Flower. Steven finally plays some games that are not Modern Warfare 2. Plus, we dish out huge helping of news and the games Coming Soon for January. Get those noise makers ready for a great show to ring in the new year.

This week Jason takes a trip to his local Micro Center, only to get questioned about one of the items he was purchasing. He also takes the PS3 version of the Dante's Inferno demo for a spin and helps us catch up on the new changes to 1 vs 100 this season. Steven was boring and only played games you've heard him talk about before. We also have the new game announcements from the Spike VGAs in the news and the November NPD numbers. Go grab some hot chocolate and get comfortable for this laughter inducing episode.
