“So... this is what everyone's been dying for...” Raccoon City itself is under siege from the infected hordes and - wouldn't you know it? - it's Leon's first day on the job at the R.P.D. Our Leon along with Karl, Michiel and Sean barricade themselves in case of various scenarios, including some unlikely ones involving giant living blocks of bean curd. The development of Hideki Kamiya's Resident Evil 2 is also put under the microscope along with, of course, the aborted 'Resi 1.5'. Plus we share the

“Guy speak beaver.” In the second of at least fifteen podcasts on the series, Leon, Josh, Leah, and drop-in fourth party member Jon Salmon take Final Fantasy's difficult sophomore outing to task.

“Ricky Winterborn!” As the N64 original turns 20, Leon, Darren, Michiel and Tony wrap up warm for another few runs down the mighty twin peaks of 1080 Snowboarding and 1080 Avalanche. Remarkably, before the first 1080 there had only been a handful of snowboarding videogames created, yet in the five or so years between 1080 and it's GameCube follow-up, a further 40 such titles were released. Did this fact have an influence on how our panel and correspondents feel about the respective games - and in

“Skills for Kills, Agent. Skills for Kills.” In anticipation of the series' forthcoming third instalment, Leon, Leah, Tony and guest David Turner from The Computer Game Show podcast revisit Realtime Worlds' 2007 Crackdown. Arriving in the relative early days of the open-world sandbox experience - and featuring online co-op to boot, Crackdown wowed many with its intoxicating cocktail of liberating superhero powers, large-scale destruction and the addictive hoovering up of some orbs.

“aren't you afraid?” Belatedly following on from issue 3 of the podcast(!) - in which we spoke to producer James Mielke about Child of Eden - we finally get around to taking a deep dive into that game's synaesthesiac predecessor, Rez. Starting with the game's initial release on Dreamcast and PS2 in 2001, Leon, Josh, Michiel and Tony chart each subsequent version right up to the recent, virtual reality-enabled Rez Infinite - which some of the panel have been lucky enough to experience.

A Look Back at 2017

2018/01/09

The entire Cane and Rinse team takes an epic look back at 2017 to reflect on all of the games that released that year that they had the opportunity to play. These are fresh opinions and not the thorough, historical perspective that the team usually takes, but consider this a sampling plate of some our favourite (and sometimes least favourite) 2017 games! http://media.blubrry.com/caneandrinse/caneandrinse.com/podcast/cane_and_rinse_end_of_year_2017.mp3 A Look Back at 2017 was edited by Ryan

“What the devil?” Cane and Rinse concludes its epic sixth year by closing off our run with The Witcher, specifically the two substantial pieces of downloadable content for The Witcher III; Hearts of Stone and Blood and Wine.

2017/12/22

Thank you to all of our Patreon patrons and supporters. We didn’t hit our ambitious target, but we still thrive on your support. We knew it was a tall order and in the end we fell quite a way short of the amount we needed to go full time and produce twice the amount of podcasts in 2018. HOWEVER! We more than doubled our income which is just wonderful, and really incentivises us, as well as allowing us to keep on putting our maximum into continuing with this fabulous project.

“Death to the fascists!” Following on from our Medal of Honor: Allied Assault podcast back in 2014, we move on to Infinity Ward's first ever game, the original Call of Duty. Leon, Karl, Sean and Tony return to WWII as the theatre of conflict - just as Activision has done itself with its latest entry into the franchise - and see what this once technical tour de force and critical darling has left to offer in

Mario Kart 64 – Cane and Rinse No.298

2017/12/11

"Battle." Cane and Rinse rejoins the race in 1996, as we review Mario Kart 64 - a wildly divisive entry in a much-loved but polarising series. Leon, Darren, Leah and Michiel discuss the transition from Mode 7 to polygons as well as many other significant (including some still controversial) alterations to mechanics and handling Nintendo made for this, their first kart sequel. As usual we also hear of the community's love and hate for Mario Kart 64 when we collectively reminisce about fun and fury

Warriors of Light Leon, Josh, Leah and Jon Salmon have ground their way through the 'bare bones' of Square's business-saving epic across various formats and have survived to recount the tale.

Mega Man and Mega Man 2 – Cane and Rinse No.296

2017/11/27

“FIGHT, MEGAMAN! FOR EVERLASTING PEACE!” Capcom's Rockman - better known in the West as Mega Man - blasted his way onto the scene 30 years ago with a tough, tantalising Famicom/NES debut. 'The Blue Bomber' would go on to appear in well over 100 games across countless formats, yet perhaps his most fondly-regarded outing was his second, 1988's Mega Man 2. OLD MAN Leon, DUTCH MAN Michiel and COOL MAN Sean each has their own take on the earliest games in the long-running series, as do many contributors

"ROLLING START" Moving onto the last lap, Karl, Tony and returning guest Gary Blower round out the final two iterations in the Project Gotham Racing series. Project Gotham Racing 3, launch showcase title for the Xbox 360, a technical tour de force, but did it live up to the fond memories of PGR2 (as discussed in podcast issue 262)? Then Project Gotham Racing 4 introduced bikes into the series, but was it necessary - and did it help or hinder the experience? Join the team as we discuss the pros,

"My scythe... I like to keep it next to where my heart used to be." Tim Schafer's final game for LucasArts was his much-loved noir meets the Mexican Day of the Dead mashup, Grim Fandango. Has Manny Calavera's four year undead odyssey proved timeless, or - even when Remastered - have the visuals and puzzles seen better days? Leon and Karl plus returning guest Brian Tarran and Sound of Play Extra's Thomas Quillfeldt remember trying to resist consulting walkthroughs, meanwhile we have some sharply
