"Get set for a combat drop!" In the latest of our Halo series of podcasts, Leon, Karl, Tony and guest CJ Black (Twin Humanities) revisit the franchise's 'odd one out', Halo 3: ODST. Not starring the Spartan Master Chief but rather several of the cast of Joss Whedon's Firefly as battle-hardened commandos in action on Earth between the events of Halos 2 and 3.

"Super State." Stephen Cakebread's Geometry Wars may have started life as a Project Gotham Racing Easter egg but has since taken on an intensely glowing, neon life of its own.

"Wake me... when you need me." Halo 3 saw the Master Chief's debut on the Xbox 360, surfing in on a tidal wave of hype. Though Bungie didn't even quite manage to bestow the 'next gen' game with 'HD ready' graphics, Halo 3 arrived to stellar reviews and spectacular sales, not to mention more than a little piracy. Leon, Darren, Josh, Karl, Tony and a covenant of contributors remember 2007's frenzy of cat helmets and Forge modes, as well as ruminating upon their recent return to the game as part of

2015/06/28

"I'm a science genius girl. I won the science fair. I wear a white lab coat. DNA strands in my hair." A pair of PlayStation 2 games that, as we discover, were vital precursors to many rhythm action hits of the mid-to-late 2000s, including Guitar Hero, DJ Hero, Rock Band and - seemingly - several others, despite selling relatively few copies.

"I... I am a monument to all your sins..." With Halo 5: Guardians scheduled to arrive later this year, Cane and Rinse company drop from orbit down to the surface of the second Halo. It's easy to forget just what a big deal this release was for Bungie and Microsoft back in 2004. How do Bungie's design decisions and curtailed development fare over a decade on, and does Halo 2: Anniversary for Xbox One (part of The Master Chief Collection) make a return any more tempting?

"Weatherman says there's a storm coming our way to spoil the fun." The Cane and Rinse podcast concludes its Silent Hill cycle where it began, with a panel of Leon, Josh, Karl and Sean.

"You can wax on, wax off all you like. I'm still kicking your ass." A late-generation cult classic or a ridiculous, slapstick B-movie take on the 3D brawler?
