Checkmate Arcade Ep. 82 – Committed To The Asylum
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.
