Call of Cthulhu: Dark Corners of the Earth – Cane and...

The Cane and Rinse videogame podcast ·

2018/10/22

"“Just check the guest list. I'm under the section for fellas that ain't ugly freaks.”” In this issue, Josh, Sean, Michiel and Jacob take a bus to the small town of Innsmouth to investigate the fishy goings-on and casually uncover eldritch horrors not meant for mortal glaze. We discuss the lengthy development time for Headfirst Productions' second and final release before the company went bankrupt. The panel also asks how effectively it feels that Lovecraft's vision of cosmic horror can be conveyed

2018/10/15

“These militia, they come into our country, steal everything, and leave us nothing.” Darren and James buddy up to tackle the notoriously-hostile Far Cry 2. When the diamonds are down, their guns are jammed, and the fever starts to hit, can our mercenary duo avoid jumping out of the smoking jeep and into the fire? http://media.blubrry.com/caneandrinse/caneandrinse.com/podcast/cane_and_rinse_issue_339.mp3 Music used in this issue: 1.

2018/10/08

"You cannot overcome suffering if you refuse to look at it.” Following up previous podcasts on Heavenly Sword, Enslaved: Odyssey to the West and DmC Devil May Cry, the Cane and Rinse team turns its attentions to Ninja Theory's most recent offering to the gaming gods - Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice. Leon, Leah, Jon and Tony share whether or not Tameem Antoniades' tale of suffering and psychosis spoke to them metaphorically as well as literally. We also hear from the Cane and Rinse community, which

“You don't seriously think a conservative mind can chart a new course for the world, do you?” For the first time ever - as we continue our run through the mainline Resident Evil games - we give a game a second Cane and Rinse podcast treatment. 13 years on from its release and seven years since we last reviewed, it, Capcom's hugely well reviewed Resident Evil 4 comes under the microscope once again. Leon, Karl, Leah and Sean are your panel this time around as we pick up some of the elements that we

“GO AHEAD DAUNTLESSLY! MAKE RAPID PROGRES!” Strawberry print boxers all round as Cane and Rinse makes its first journey to the Demon World Village of Ghosts 'n Goblins (aka Makaimura). Leon, Michiel and guest Ben Cartlidge consult their internal thesaruses in an attempt to use as many variations on the words hard/difficult/challenging as possible, and we also hear from the community who have sampled the NES, C64 and Spectrum ports of Capcom's 1985 'levels and ladders survival horror'.

Resogun – Cane and Rinse No.334

The Cane and Rinse videogame podcast ·

2018/09/10

“Armageddon.” Veteran Finnish code aces Housemarque helped launch a new generation with their PS4 (then) exclusive, Resogun. Taking its cues from classics Defender, Drop Zone and Datastorm - as well as a few from Housmarque's previous gen banger, Super Stardust HD - Resogun pushed the PS4's voxel-pumping power to the limit. Leon, Josh, Karl and community member Camille Rousseau get deep into aesthetics, mechanics and score chasing - with particular emphasis on Camille's 100+ hours spent in survival

Valkyria Chronicles – Cane and Rinse No.333

2018/09/03

"Squad 7, move out!" Alright squad, listen up. The objective is to assist Josh, Michiel and Simon Cole in successfully evaluating Sega's 2008 Tactics RPG, Valkyria Chronicles. They'll be under heavy fire from difficulty spikes and a flawed ranking system, but we'll be countering with sketch book aesthetics, rousing music and third-person combat. It's been a 10 year long campaign, but finally victory is within our grasp. Squad 7, move

Final Fantasy V – Cane and Rinse No.332

2018/08/27

“Knights do it two-handed!” The Final Fantasy that was initially deemed too hardcore for the West. Leon, Josh, Jon and Leah have got the job to work out if Square's decision to keep this on under their hats for several years was justified. Final Fantasy V demands a lot from its players, and our panel. Will they survive Exdeath's final onslaught? http://media.blubrry.com/caneandrinse/caneandrinse.com/podcast/cane_and_rinse_issue_332.mp3 Music used in this issue: 1. The Battle by Nobuo Uematasu 2

Daytona USA – Cane and Rinse No.331

“Blue, blue skies...” Just why is SEGA's 25 year old coin-op racer still relatively easy to find in (what passes for) arcades in 2018? Leon, Michiel, new contributor Marvin Alexis and the Cane and Rinse community attempt to go beyond Daytona USA's beloved basics - those SEGA blue skies and some memorable music - to understand why people are still playing this vintage arcade title a quarter of a century on from its original

Resident Evil 0 – Cane and Rinse No.330

2018/08/13

“It's gonna be dangerous from here on in, why don't we cooperate?” Perhaps appropriately, the last 'classic' style Resident Evil game (for a long while at least) would be the official, canonical prequel - Resident Evil 0. Leon, Darren, Michiel and guest Jon Salmon climb aboard the Ecliptic Express - the last train to Biohazard central - to report on their leech-infested adventures. As usual we also share thoughts and memories from the community and forum, as well as a handful of Three Word

Secret of Mana – Cane and Rinse No.329

2018/08/06

“Time flows like a river... and history repeats…” On a mid-90s roll, some of the team behind the Final Fantasy games broke off to create a follow-up to Square's 1991 Game Boy title, Seiken Densetsu (aka Final Fantasy Mystic Quest). This sequel was intended to be a more ambitious and action-driven type of RPG for the - then forthcoming - SNES CD add-on. When the relationship between Nintendo and Sony broke down, Seiken Densetsu 2 was repurposed for cartridge and released in the West as Secret of

"Tim is off on a search to rescue the Princess. She has been snatched by a horrible and evil monster. This happened because Tim made a mistake." Josh, Tony, Darren and new contributor Brian Edwards discuss their opportunity to indulge in the common fantasy of being able to reverse all your mistakes, in Jonathan Blow's 2008 Summer of Arcade release, Braid. How important was this title in shaping the industry as it is today? What do we feel about the games subtext and symbolism? Were any of us willing

“Here we go!” It's the third of our sporadic but ongoing series on the Mario Kart franchise and so we arrive at 2001's Mario Kart: Super Circuit (aka Mario Kart Advance) on the GBA. This time, Nintendo handed the reins over to their trusted independent allies Intelligent Systems, for which this title remains to this day the one and only racing game on their largely stellar CV. Leon, Darren and Michiel decide if they think this handheld SNES/N64 hybrid-cum-sequel took the chequered flag, or whether
