Slay the Spire – Cane and Rinse No.598

The Cane and Rinse videogame podcast ·

2024/01/09

“At least… confront the first boss…” Seattle didn’t invent grunge or coffee shops, but it certainly popularised them. Seattle's Mega Crit didn’t invent roguelike deck builders, but… you get the idea. James, Chris O'Regan, Jesse and Leah venture ever upwards to confront the Corrupted Heart and ultimately Slay the Spire! http://media.blubrry.com/caneandrinse/caneandrinse.com/podcast/cane_and_rinse_issue_598.mp3 Music featured in this issue: 1.

The Cane and Rinse videogame podcast ·

2024/01/02

"I will bury all of you" Is this really the end of Kiryu’s journey? Well, we know it’s not, but at the time of release, Yakuza 6: The Song of Life was the final chapter in Kiryu’s story. Join Brian, Leah and Michiel as they examine whether or not this was a fitting final chapter for the Dragon of Dojima. http://media.blubrry.com/caneandrinse/caneandrinse.com/podcast/cane_and_rinse_issue_597.mp3 Music featured in this issue:1.

“Know it's not what happened but it's what I wanted.” It's the near future. The town of Norco has been driven to the brink of devastation by the Shield Corporation.

FIFA – Cane and Rinse No.595

The Cane and Rinse videogame podcast ·

2023/12/19

“It did appear that they might be onto something but not so.” After almost thirty years of (more than) annual releases, EA Sports' FIFA series of football (soccer) games ended in 2022. Leon, Chris Worthington, Tony and a team of listeners tackle every generational leap and incremental upgrade from 16-bit Mega Drive to PS5 and Xbox Series X. We remember the highs (FIFA 11) and lows (FIFA 97), the faded cover stars, the features that have come and gone and lament the death of all competition, as EA

OutRun 2 – Cane and Rinse No.594

The Cane and Rinse videogame podcast ·

2023/12/12

“Shiny World” SEGA AM2 doubled down on an icon in 2003 when it finally released OutRun 2 into the arcades. Updates, expansions and follow-ups came - and went, thanks to elapsed licensing - but it's now been 14 years since a new game in the series was made available. Leon, Chris Worthington and Michiel celebrate Sumo Digital's work in bringing the mighty coin-ops home, while lamenting the expense of securing legacy physical copies. We've also got some particularly passionate user reviews for you

Halo Infinite – Cane and Rinse No.593

2023/12/05

“It’s enough.” It's been a while since we covered Halo 5 (check out that and our other Halo podcasts in the archive), but now it's been a couple of years since the release of its successor, so we felt it was time to review Halo Infinite. Leon, Brian, Karl, Tony and a swathe of community contributors recall 343's rocky road to launch and beyond, assess the state of the game then and now - even considering whether the recent launch of 'Season 5' could be the start (or even the end) of this game's

2023/11/28

“May the Light of Aether shine upon you!” Our last adventure with Samus for this year as we travel back to 2004 for the GameCube sequel, Metroid Prime 2: Echoes. Leon, Brian, Leah and Rich - along with contributors from the Patreon and forum - revisit Retro Studios' divisive dark middle chapter of their first-person 3D trilogy. For some, this instalment is one of their least fondly remembered Metroid experiences - frustrating and unfriendly, For others it is their favourite - a moody, challenging

F-Zero series – Cane and Rinse No.591

The Cane and Rinse videogame podcast ·

2023/11/21

“You got boost power!” When we scheduled this show, it had been over 18 years since the most recent release of a new F-Zero game. Then Nintendo threw us for a loop with the shadow-drop of the free-to-play battle royale F-Zero 99! Nevertheless, as planned, Leon, Karl and Michiel - along with contributions from our Ryan and the wider community - come together to celebrate and analyse this long-dormant future racer franchise, featuring a detailed look at the Super Famicom/SNES, N64 and GameCube 'big

The Cane and Rinse videogame podcast ·

2023/11/07

“By the Spires you made it!” Few would pick a game, based on a theme park experience based on a movie, to be a standout launch title for PSVR2, but is that what we got? Join Chris Worthington, Chris O’Regan, James and Karl as we look at whether ILM Immersive managed to capture some of that Star Wars magic. http://media.blubrry.com/caneandrinse/caneandrinse.com/podcast/cane_and_rinse_issue_589.mp3 Music featured in this issue: 1.

“DRACULA HAS REVIVED MANY TIMES.” Back on board the spooky train with the beloved action platform series, as we arrive in the 16-bit era and Super Castlevania IV. Leon, Leah, Michiel and community correspondents weigh in on this remake/'requel' of the original Akumajo Dracula. There's a lot of love for the soundtrack (except for prog/jazz hating Leah) and Simon's all-new eight-way wiggly

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.

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

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.

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

“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
