2013/03/17

"Like it or not, the world has changed." In Ubisoft’s I Am Alive you play as an unnamed man trying to reach his partner and child in an America left in ruins by a mysterious “Event”. The protagonist’s journey proves to be almost as tortuous and harrowing as the development of the game. Tony is joined by Joshua Garrity and guest Brad Gallaway of GameCritics.com to pick the bones out of the

StarCraft II: Wings of Liberty – Cane and Rinse No.71

2013/03/10

"Hell, it's about time." From 1998 South Korea would never be the same again. It was that year that Blizzard decided to put aside their swords and wands for a brief moment, strapped themselves into some power armour, and brought out C-14 rifles. From the foundations laid down by WarCraft, StarCraft was born and met with much acclaim. Fans would be left waiting for over a decade for this celebrated game’s sequel. On top of that Blizzard had decided to turn the sequel into a quasi-trilogy. With the

"Ground Upper!" In the 80’s and 90’s you could hardly move through town for badly dressed punks being flying kicked by vigilantes with terrible haircuts. Fortunately these events were documented for posterity by such games as Renegade, Double Dragon, Final Fight and SEGA’s Streets of Rage series. Leon, Darren Forman, Karl and Dan Clark of The AI Bots podcast talk at some length about the Bare Knuckle trilogy, its predecessors and successors, including the sequels that never were. We also feature a

“I am Andrew Ryan, and I'm here to ask you a question." "Is a man not entitled to the sweat of his brow? 'No!' says the man in Washington, 'It belongs to the poor.' 'No!' says the man in the Vatican, 'It belongs to God.' 'No!' says the man in Moscow, 'It belongs to everyone.' I rejected those answers; instead, I chose something different. I chose the impossible. I chose... Rapture! A city where the artist would not fear the censor, where the scientist would not be bound by petty morality, Where the

Crysis / Crysis 2 – Cane and Rinse No.68

2013/02/18

"If you want guarantees, buy a toaster." Formed by the three Yerli brothers, Frankfurt’s Crytek burst onto the PC gaming scene with the technically impressive FarCry in 2004. Three years later they followed up with Crysis, a near-future sci-fi FPS that remains one of the most graphically demanding games available. Is the beauty of Crysis and its 2011 multi-format sequel Crysis 2 only skin-deep though? Leon, Tony, Josh and Karl put their heads together along with members of the Cane and Rinse

2013/02/10

"It takes a strong man to deny what's right in front of him." Released in June 2012 for 360, PS3 and PC, Yager Development’s Spec Ops: The Line is a third-person military shooter set in a troubled Middle East where you play as a highly skilled US Delta Squad operative sent to yadda yadda yadda... But is there more to it than that? Leon, Tony, Josh and David Turner of Joypod presented by Spong.com attempt to find out. There's also plenty of correspondence on the subject from the forum as well as your

Yu Suzuki’s Shenmue II sees Ryo cross the East China Sea in his continuing pursuit of Lan Di, the man who murdered his father.

Alan Wake – Cane and Rinse No.64

2013/01/20

"Guess that one saw the light!" Following a protracted period in well-publicised ‘development hell’, Max Payne developer Remedy’s David Lynch/Stephen King/Rod Serling homage Alan Wake was eventually released on Xbox 360 in May 2010 and almost two years later on PC. Leon, Karl and a returning Jay Taylor review this "psychological thriller", plus we have significant input from other members of the Cane and Rinse team including the much-missed Tony Atkins. Furthermore as usual we hear passionate

"Now you've really crossed the line." The Resident Evil follow-up that metamorphosed into its own IP during development, Hideki Kamiya’s Devil May Cry arrived on the PlayStation 2 to largely rapturous acclaim in 2001. Two years after 2003’s much maligned Devil May Cry 2, director Hideaki Itsuno bounced back with 2005’s prequel, Devil May Cry 3: Dante’s Awakening. Such was DMC3’s success that it warranted an enhanced follow-up a year later in the shape of the Special Edition. Leon, Darren Forman,

"Heh... you like me that much?" A developer whose hallmark is technical wizardry, Yu Suzuki’s AM2 were responsible for eye-popping innovation throughout the 80s and 90s with arcade titles such as Space Harrier, OutRun and Virtua Fighter. Open-world RPG Shenmue would become his Symphony No. 8, his Sagrada Familia, as wild ambition and development costs swelled beyond sales that were realistically possible on SEGA’s under-performing Dreamcast.

"Origin of all that is good and mother to us all" During its relatively short existence, Clover Studio produced a triumvirate of significant and memorable titles; Viewtiful Joe, God Hand (each a candidate for a future Issue of this podcast), and in between those two, their theological folk tale of the wolf deity Amaterasu and her ‘poncle’ - a diminutive humanoid artist familiar named Issun, cleansing Nippon of demons with an array of celestial paintings and powers: Okami.

So I'm heading out the back door and in the other side; Gonna eat the cherries up and take them all for a ride. Leon, Josh, Karl and Joystiq's Sinan Kubba successfully avoid all reference to Marcus Brigstocke's infamous Pac-Man gag as they trawl through the lengthy and patchy history of the most successful coin-op of all time, arriving at and dissecting 2010's Pac-Man

"Am I the only one who understands the meaning of the word "covert?"" Thick-necked, wise-cracking future soldiers shooting the crap out of robots with big guns. In the minds of gamers, SEGA Yakuza Studio’s Binary Domain is what all videogames are like according to non-gamers. Leon, Darren Forman and Sean earn one another's trust as they battle through Toshihiro Nagoshi's cybernetic hordes, questioning why the game was so badly undersold by its publisher and under-bought by the general public.

Doukutsu Monogatari The late 1990s: Inspired by a host of classic Japanese titles, printer operating systems programmer, Daisuke Amaya, has a dorm-mate teach him how to code video games. The result - five years later - is Doukutsu Monogatari (a.k.a. Cave Story), a freeware arcade adventure in the 8-bit style featuring an idiosyncratic plot and a distinctive cast.

Syndicate (2012) – Cane and Rinse No.55

The Cane and Rinse videogame podcast ·

2012/11/04

"By 2069 the world will be controlled by giant mega-corporations called Syndicates." They will vie for the minds of a populace helpless to escape their grasp. The dystopia imagined by Starbreeze earlier this year in Syndicate bears more than a passing resemblance to that imagined by Peter Molyneux's Bullfrog in 1993. In the more modern dystopia, however, isometric view has been supplanted by a first-person perspective and tactical strategy has been switched out in favour of shooter mechanics with
