Cane And Rinse

"You ever feel like you're dead, but no one told you?" An uncommonly up-to-date show this week as we cast eight compound eyes over Epic's Locust-infested trilogy-completer, Gears of War 3. Leon and Tony are joined by Darren Forman and Karl Moon to discuss all aspects of the title, from the dramatic campaign through to the competitive multiplayer via Horde and Beast modes. http://media.blubrry.com/caneandrinse/caneandrinse.com/podcast/cane_and_rinse_issue_five.mp3   Music used in this issue: 1: Into Dust by Mazzy Star - So Tonight That I Might See Cane and Rinse 5 was edited by Jay Taylor (@JaySevenZero).

"But heed this: the price you pay may be heavy indeed." These two great stories of four young people: ICO, Yorda, Wander, Mono and the eerie yet beautiful land(s) they live in have been rewarded with a sumptuous HD re-release on PlayStation 3. What better time for a Cane and Rinse retrospective? Leon, Tony and Jay are joined by devout Team ICO fan Joshua Garrity to discuss both ICO and Shadow of the Colossus; their gameplay, aesthetics and narrative as well as speculating on how the two relate to one another. http://media.blubrry.com/caneandrinse/caneandrinse.com/podcast/cane_and_rinse_issue_four.mp3   Music used in this issue: Track 1: Castle in the Mist by Michiru Oshima and PentagonTrack 2: Prologue: To the Ancient Land by Ko OtaniTrack 3: Swift Horse by Ko Otani Cane and Rinse 4 was edited by Jay Taylor Do you have an opinion about this particular game or maybe about our podcast in general?

Our first interview subject on Cane and Rinse is the multi-talented industry veteran James Mielke. He describes his remarkable career path from comic illustrator to producer at Tetsuya Mizuguchi's Q-Entertainment, via (amongst other things) clothes designer and bar manager, not to mention Editor-In-Chief of Electronic Gaming Monthly & 1UP.com. We also explore Q's output past and future, we talk turkey about the commercial performance of Child of Eden, we even get an exclusive regarding the forthcoming Vita release of Lumines: Electronic Symphony, and much more besides. http://media.blubrry.com/caneandrinse/caneandrinse.com/podcast/cane_and_rinse_issue_three.mp3   Cane and Rinse 3 was edited by Jay Taylor Do you have an opinion about this particular game or maybe about our podcast in general?

"Better try a new trick 'cause that one's getting old!" Leon Cox is joined by Jay Taylor, Darren Forman and Joshua Garrity to worship and/or butcher this most sacred of videogaming ganados, Resident Evil 4. We explore the game's protracted development, discuss where it fits - or doesn't - within the BioHazard canon and consider what direction the franchise might take next. http://media.blubrry.com/caneandrinse/caneandrinse.com/podcast/cane_and_rinse_issue_two.mp3   Cane and Rinse 300 was edited by Jay Taylor (@JaySevenZero).

"My vengeance... ends now!" For the first show proper Leon, Tony and Jay are joined by Darren Forman to discuss Sony Santa Monica's God of War III. We also turn our thoughts to other games in the God of War franchise and discuss Kratos' future. As well as this we then investigate the respective design decisions made within the so-called 'hack and slash' genre by Western and Eastern developers: Are they really so different or is that a commonly perpetuated myth? http://media.blubrry.com/caneandrinse/caneandrinse.com/podcast/cane_and_rinse_issue_one.mp3   Cane and Rinse 1 was edited by Jay Taylor Do you have an opinion about this particular game or maybe about our podcast in general?
