2025/01/07

“The powers of the Gold Armlet are now yours to wield.”Team Ancient turned its attention from the urban grime of Streets of Rage 2 to the lush meadows, dry deserts and atmospheric caverns of Oasis for its Mega Drive follow-up, The Story of Thor. Leon, Chris Worthington, Michiel and community contributors' quest for the four spirits is on! As usual we discuss the art, the audio and the mashed-up mechanics of this action/RPG

2024/12/31

"That old coot had me locked up tight in his lab... But guess what? I GOT OUT!" This week's destination is the Last Resort hotel. Luxury, decadence, and packed to the rafters with happy haunts. Ryan, Leah and James brave the halls of the haunted hotel in Luigi's Mansion 3. http://media.blubrry.com/caneandrinse/caneandrinse.com/podcast/cane_and_rinse_issue_647.mp3 Music featured in this issue: 1. 2F: Mezzanine by Chad York/Darren Radtke2. 2B: Boilerworks by Chad York/Darren

2024/12/24

“We might make a name for ourselves after all…” In a pre-prequel, pre-Disney's Star Wars world, almost any game featuring George Lucas' galaxy-spanning space opera was greeted with fervour. So it was with Star Wars: Rogue Squadron for the N64 and PC in 1998. Leon, Chris Worthington and Jon - along with contributions from you, the listeners - suit up and blast through the entire trilogy, focusing on the original, and GameCube sequels Rogue Leader and Rebel

Marble Madness – Cane and Rinse No.645

2024/12/17

“EVERYTHING YOU KNOW IS WRONG” Mark Cerny's first full project as a prodigious teen game creator (after coding a 'mushroom growing algorithm' for Millipede) was Atari's surreal and challenging Marble Madness. Leon, Brian and Chris Worthington run all six courses, albeit over considerably longer than the two odd minutes in which it's possible to beat the game. Along with community contributors, we also take a look at the hit arcade game's many home and handheld conversions, as well as a slew of

JuJu Densetsu (Toki) – Cane and Rinse No.644

The Cane and Rinse videogame podcast ·

2024/12/10

“The evil hand of BASHTAR has seized the lovely MIHO.”Representing the tiny overlap in the Venn diagram of at least two niche subgenres (prehistoric jungle platformers/games with simian protagonists), Juju Densetsu (or Toki) is also a fairly pedestrian, memory-based platform/shooter. Leon, Chris Worthington, Dan and Toki-lover Michiel muse upon why this one has been condemned to apparent obscurity, despite receiving some acclaim, multiple home conversions and even a 'modern'

2024/12/03

"..."Installation artist, juggler, balloon artist and first-time game developer William Chyr told himself it would take three months to design a Portal-sized puzzle game. Seven years later, he released a 'counterfactual physics game' that captures the spirit of both M.C. Escher's mind-bending work and the Paris scene in Christopher Nolan's Inception. Thomas, Brian and Chris Worthington chat about the impossible spaces, the minimalist vibes, and puzzle mechanics of this striking

2024/11/26

“If you make like you’re a DeathMatch hotshot you should be able to bluff your way into the party.”After a tumultuous few years of company takeovers and platform swaps, Rare's Perfect Dark Zero landed as an Xbox 360 console exclusive launch title. Leon, Darren (former Rare), Ryan (Xbox employee) and community contributors pick the prequel apart, 19 years on from its release. Could it live up to the legacy of its N64 forerunner, let alone that game's predecessor GoldenEye 007? Listen in to find

Dragon Age: Inquisition – Cane and Rinse No.641

2024/11/24

“If you love a character, you give them pain, ruin their lives, make them suffer.” Just ahead of the release of the fourth instalment in BioWare's fantasy RPG series, we finally get around to scrutinising the third game in the series - Dragon Age: Inquisition. Leon, Brian, Leah and Tony have quested long, scouring the plains of Thedas to explore the game's systems and characters - intimately. As usual we also have correspondents from the far-flung corners of the wastes, reporting back to the war

Dredge – Cane and Rinse No.640

2024/11/13

"Throw me back."What better way to spend time in the ocean than to fish while trying not to succumb to ancient malices from the deep? For this is apparently what is on offer with 2023's indie darling, Dredge. Chris O'Regan with James and Brian - along with contributions from the Cane and Rinse listenership – tell tall tales of fishes larger than a house they 'allegedly' caught, while fighting off stress induced fatigue in this boat-bound action adventure. One can only wonder what is hauled up

Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy – Cane and Rinse No.639

2024/11/05

“Good speech. Blast him.” Marvel's relatively obscure comic book sci-fi misfits received a huge boost in recognition with their first MCU movie in 2014. Following a sequel and a Telltale series, Square Enix tasked their Eidos Montreal studio with making an action game starring the underdog antiheroes. Leon, Brian, Karl and Leah team up to celebrate the highs and nitpick at the lows of the resulting romp. Along with contributions from the Cane and Rinse community, we also consider the stink that

“TWO YOUNG VAMPIRE HUNTERS SET OUT TO FULFILL THEIR DESTINY….”New protagonists for a new era. Initially, officially, considered to be a gaiden, Konami's second game entitled Vampire Killer was arguably canonised as Castlevania: Bloodlines in the USA. Leon, Leah and Sean talk whips, spears, level design and boss fights. Even the always excellent contributions from the Cane and Rinse community can't persuade us to spend much time on the neutered European/Australian PAL version, robbed of this

Sonic 3 & Knuckles – Cane and Rinse No.637

2024/10/22

“Go! Go! Go! Go-go!” It could have been Sonic 3D, but the tech wasn't ready. In fact, the game itself wasn't entirely ready when it was due to release, leading to Sonic the Hedgehog 3 and Sonic & Knuckles coming out on separate (full-price) cartridges. Leon, Leah and Tony - along with community contributors - dash into the eventual complete title, Sonic 3 & Knuckles. http://media.blubrry.com/caneandrinse/caneandrinse.com/podcast/cane_and_rinse_issue_637.mp3 Music featured in this issue:1

Vampire Survivors – Cane and Rinse No.636

The Cane and Rinse videogame podcast ·

2024/10/15

"Thank you Poe, but the vampire is in another coffin.” Vampire Survivors started off as a solo developer effort that turned into a huge indie hit. A compulsive experience that employs various slots-style visual and audio cues to give upgrades more 'juice', the game is nevertheless an incredibly generous affair with rock bottom store prices and no microtransactions. Thomas, James and Sean – along with contributors from the listening community – chat through the basic, charming visuals, the

“HOT FIGHTING HISTORY” Yie Ar Kung-Fu marked the first appearance of many core one-on-one fighting game tenets that remain in use fully 40 years later. Join Leon, Chris O, Chris W and Jesse (as well as contributions from the listeners) to find out which parts of the rulebook Konami wrote all the way back in 1984. There's also time for talk of opponent strats, as well as the lowdown on the game's many conversions, a sequel, plus a not really a

2024/10/01

“Guess what. This house has an illusion wall.” This week, we put the "cane" back in Cane and Rinse with our discussion of DuckTales on the NES and the ahem dynasty of duck games that followed. We detail the pre-interactive origins of everyone's favorite policy failure, Scrooge McDuck, and track his adventures up to 2013's WayForward remake. Ryan, Leah and Michiel quack the case of this buried treasure with contributions from the community and woo-oos from the

2024/09/24

“Good morning.” Covering all the main games from thirty years of Iron Fisting, we relive the mad, bad Mishima saga and recall its many combatants. Leon, Michiel, Rich and Sean wax lyrical of 10-hit strings, mighty juggle combos and multipart, limb-breaking holds. As usual, we have some great, nostalgic memories from the Cane and Rinse listenership to share as well. http://media.blubrry.com/caneandrinse/caneandrinse.com/podcast/cane_and_rinse_issue_633.mp3 Music featured in this

2024/09/17

“Why not pay the tavern a visit first?” From oaks to acorns. The Fable series began life as O.G. Xbox exclusive, released under the weight of some big talk of tantalising concepts in 2004. Leon, James, Tony and a returning Darren Gargette - along with contributions from the Cane and Rinse listenership - relive the legend of the first Fable, and replay the game in a post Dragon Age, post Witcher III, post Elden Ring, post Baldur's Gate III

“Oh no!” All-but abandoned after just two critically successful entries, Capcom's Power Stone is a series that - until a recent announcement - lived on only in the hearts of those who played it quarter of a century ago. Leon, Karl, Michiel and Ryan - along with contributors from the listening community - bash out what made Power Stone such a blast, and ponder what the sequel was an eternal party favourite for some, yet an over-egged pudding for

Metroid: Other M – Cane and Rinse No.629

2024/08/27

“Any objections, Lady?”The infamous odd-one out. Nintendo SPD collaborated with Tecmo's Team Ninja for the Wii-exclusive follow-up to the Prime trilogy, with results that weren't greeted entirely enthusiastically by press or punters alike. Leon, Chris Worthington, Leah, Rich and community correspondents get to grips with Metroid: Other M - its quirky cameras and unintuitive interface, and perhaps most controversially, its character-changing portrayal of series hero, Samus
