Ridge Racer series – Cane and Rinse No.587

The Cane and Rinse videogame podcast ·

2023/10/24

“Are you all set?” From the arcades of 1993, through the console generations, we drift through every single iteration of Ridge Racer. OK, we haven't played every mobile version and pachi-slot, but Leon, Chris Worthington, Tony and community contributors have hundreds of hours of sideways thrills under their drive belts, and can't wait to reminisce. The aesthetics, the music and the feelings, whether its Revolution, Rage, Rave or R4. Go go

2023/10/17

"When you hit the ground, tell 'em Nathan Zachary sent you!” A riveting tale of aerial derring-do is our focus in this podcast, as we revisit Crimson Skies: High Road to Revenge, twenty years on. Leon, Brian, Chis Worthington and Tony are your swashbuckling sky pirates, as we dogfight about how elegantly this one has aged since its 2003 launch on the OG Xbox. As usual, insightful and heartfelt community contributions round out the dashing

2023/10/10

He who makes a beast of himself removes himself from the pain of being human.” The Chinese Room had a difficult path ahead of them when they were tasked with creating a follow-up to Frictional Games’ massively successful - and massively scary - Amnesia: The Dark Descent. Does 2013’s Amnesia: A Machine for Pigs rise to the challenge? Join Leah, Chris Worthington, Jon and Sean to find out whether they were just as spooked this time

2023/10/03

“Toot-Toot Sonic Warrior deep in space and time, Toot-Toot Sonic Warrior forever in your mind” Our third Sonic the Hedgehog show comes on a shiny silver plastic platter, as we alight upon Sonic CD. Leon, Tony, returning guest Dan Clark and community correspondents attempt to decipher SEGA's time warp mechanics, 3D special stages and races with the sinister Metal Sonic (not Mecha Sonic who is a very different thing). Plus of course, we join in the 30 year old music debate as we muse upon the merits

The Cane and Rinse videogame podcast ·

2023/09/26

“There are no free lessons here.” Fore! Ryan, Jon, Sean and Jesse tee up for a bunker-chipping, birdie-flopping, caddyshacking conversation about Australian indie darling Golf Story. Does this game land cleanly on the green, or is it a bogey? This conversation will go a fairway toward answering that question. http://media.blubrry.com/caneandrinse/caneandrinse.com/podcast/cane_and_rinse_issue_583.mp3 Music featured in this issue: 1.

"Questions about whose hands might one day hold my Myst Book are unsettling to me.” After 30 years, we release Chris, James, Jesse and Jon from their exile in D’ni. As they step, blinking and nervous, into the light, they find themselves on a strange island. This wonderful place is a gateway to puzzling worlds of history, influence, and mystery. Join us for a walk around the first of Cyan’s signature franchise: join us on

Star Wars: The Force Unleashed and The Force...

The Cane and Rinse videogame podcast ·

2023/09/12

“PULL IT OUT OF THE SKY!” Star Wars: The Force Unleashed was marketed as an opportunity for players to live out their ultimate (Dark) Jedi power fantasies. Did the game succeed? Well, it certainly did commercially, leading to a sequel just two years later. Leon, Brian, Jon and community contributors polish their holocrons in a bid to convey what was successful and what wasn't about LucasArts' brace of stormtrooper-flinging

Deathloop – Cane and Rinse No.580

The Cane and Rinse videogame podcast ·

2023/09/05

“Goodest idea, underqualified gun man!” Colt and Juliana go head to head, life or death, day after and day and for what? Leon, Tom, Tony and Jay relive Arkane Lyon's recursive immersive sim and, with some broadly rather negative community correspondence, attempt to explain where they feel that the ambitions of "DEATHLOOP" were met, and also where they fell short of flourishing to full fruition. http://media.blubrry.com/caneandrinse/caneandrinse.com/podcast/cane_and_rinse_issue_580.mp3 Music

“The Zodiac Brave Story" Following two delays (one long, one short), we can finally bring you our in-depth discussion of Final Fantasy Tactics (and The War of the Lions). Leon, Leah, Rich - and a returning Josh Garrity - have all completed this lengthy, daunting, and at times downright cruel game - and are ready to share their findings with you all. We also have a slate of valuable community contributions giving us jumping-off points from which we talk strategy, status effects, job systems, red

2023/08/22

“SOMETIMES HE HIDES IN MUD.” Our fourth Shinobi series podcast sees Joe Musashi come to the end of his 16-bit era with - after a faltering start - what some consider to be the franchise's coup de grace. Leon, Chris Worthington, Jon and returning guest Dan Clark - along with community contributors - tangle with NEO ZEED's even more mighty and evil forces in this all-action Mega Drive/Genesis

"People like you are the reason why we have middle fingers" Should we fear death or should we embrace it? Join Brian, Jon, Rich and Tom as they explore the existential meaning of Spiritfarer, the death-centric management sim by Thunderlotus. Do the management sim aspects of this game bolster or hinder the end of life message the developers attempt to convey? Join them on this journey into the great

“The Belmont family has a long history of Vampire Hunters.” In our latest Castlevania show we land At Konami's second attempt at bringing the full-fat horror platformer experience to handheld in Castlevania II: Belmont's Revenge. Leon, Brian, Jon, Leah and listener contributors find a slightly yet significantly upgraded protagonist - and one who can now even use axes and holy water - in this assault on Dracula's real estate portfolio. Special praise is doled out for a remarkable 8-bit soundtrack,

“Once upon a time… in a wild, wild world… there were two wolf brothers…” For brothers Sean and Daniel Diaz, the bond they share might be the only thing they can really count on when a terrible accident changes their lives forever. Join Leah, Brian, Jon and Tony as they follow the brothers’ trail all the way down the west coast of the US, and explore all the people they meet and circumstances they must navigate along the way.

“BRAVE FOR ENTER BOSOM” Treasure's 10th release was also its first out-and-out shmup, and what an impact it made. A niche title made in small numbers on an unpopular machine (in the West at least) that became a legendary game. Leon, Chris Worthington, James and Michiel each have a different history with Radiant Silvergun from 'back in the day' 25 years ago right up to recent encounters via the Xbox and Switch versions. Along with community contributions we dive deep into the design of this storied

"You found a shiny medallion!" Flicky, Agony, Alfred Chicken, Dynamite Dux, Untitled Goose Game. These are just some of the titles we think of when we try to recall videogames with avian protagonists. Manchester studio Acid Nerve added another feathered hero in 2021 with the release of its Zelda-esque Death's Door.

“Shall we find something to kill to cheer ourselves up?” Star Wars plus BioWare RPG sounded like manna from heaven to many of us when it was announced in 2001. Happily, Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic - created by a number of the same folks who had worked on the likes of Baldur's Gate II and Neverwinter Nights, was greeted rapturously. Leon, Brian, Leah and Rich (who nominated this one as his personal selection for the year's podcasts) party up to save the galaxy from the Sith menace and

"You have died from dysentery." Well, not really, but one of your party members probably did. In this installment we cover the edutainment game The Oregon Trail. Join Brian, Jesse, Rich and Ryan as they head west on a wagon train and discuss what makes this game effective enough to warrant a 50 year history with over 25 different entries.

Dragon’s Lair and Space Ace – Cane and Rinse No.569

The Cane and Rinse videogame podcast ·

2023/06/20

“Lead on, adventurer. Your quest awaits!” Forty years ago our eyes were blown from their sockets as they witnessed what appeared to be Disney cartoon quality graphics arrive in the arcades. Of course, we soon found out that the reality of actually playing these LaserDisc games wasn't perhaps what we initially dreamed, yet still Rick Dyer and Don Bluth's Dragon's Lair (and to a lesser extent, sci-fi sequel Space Ace) would become legends in their own right.

2023/06/13

“The fire still burns. Hope still burns.” Not such a long time after the sequel hit stores, we got the crew together to review Respawn's first movie franchise license game, Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order. Leon, Brian, James and Karl have all wanted to be Jedis (or possibly Sith) to some extent, so did this game allow them to live out their space fantasies? As you'd hope for such a recent and successful game, we also have plenty of posts from padawans strewn around the Cane and Rinse
