"...For the first time in my life... I am afraid." Leon, Tony, James and Darren Forman return to Persia and Ubisoft's (so far) one-off reboot of the Prince of Persia franchise, Prince of Persia (2008). Discussed are the controversial difficulty (or lack of), the controversial art style and the controversial ending (or lack of) - all that and the controversial, arguably cynical and overly challenging epilogue dlc. http://media.blubrry.com/caneandrinse/caneandrinse.com/podcast/cane_and_rinse_issue_twenty_nine.mp3   Music used in this issue: 1: Main Theme by Inon Zur and Stuart Chatwood 2: Healing Grounds by Inon Zur and Stuart Chatwood Cane and Rinse 29 was edited by Darren Gargette Do you have an opinion about this particular game or maybe about our podcast in general?

In the second of six planned Metal Gear specials, Leon, Tony, James and Ready-Up's Paul Rooney go large on the series' 1998 32-bit début - Metal Gear Solid. In a self-imposed-length-limitation-defying podcast, we get deep into Solid Snake's island adventure and revisit just what made it so remarkable back in the late 1990's. http://media.blubrry.com/caneandrinse/caneandrinse.com/podcast/cane_and_rinse_issue_twenty_eight.mp3   Music used in this issue: 1: Metal Gear Solid Main Theme by TAPPY (Tappi Iwase) 2: Intruder 1 by KCE Japan Sound Team 3: Encounter by KCE Japan Sound Team 4: The Best is Yet to Come by Aoife Ni Fhearraigh (composed by Rika Muranaka) Cane and Rinse 28 was edited by Sean O'Brien Do you have an opinion about this particular game or maybe about our podcast in general?

In this show we exchange views on Gaijin's BIT. TRIP series. Leon, Joshua and Darren join Commander Video on his "journey of the soul" with this in-depth look at every one of the six games in Gaijin's BIT.TRIP series. All retro style over substance or inspired expression of pure gameplay? Furthermore, why are they all so damn hard?!

"There's always a little light in the darkness."

Solid Snake! I've been expecting you...

"Steef! Steef! Steef! Steef!" In which Leon, Tony and Darren Gargette attempt to establish whether Oddworld: Stranger's Wrath's hallowed reputation is justified, as well as delving into the history of Oddworld; from Abe's days as a prestigious PSone platform star, through Munch's brief time in the sun to Stranger and what the future may hold for Oddworld Inhabitants. http://media.blubrry.com/caneandrinse/caneandrinse.com/podcast/cane_and_rinse_issue_twenty_one.mp3   Music used in this issue: 1: Fighting Outlaws by Michael Bross 2: Quest Up River by Michael Bross 3: Into the Darkness by Michael Bross Cane and Rinse 21 was edited by Sean O'Brien Do you have an opinion about this particular game or maybe about our podcast in general?

"My Wonderland is shattered. It's dead to me." Leon, Tony, James and Darren G try to get into the mind of American McGee and his take on Lewis Carroll's young heroine in Alice: Madness Returns.

A less structured than usual and festively combative issue this week as Leon, Tony, Jay and Karl assemble to trade shots over EA/DICE's Battlefield 3. Is the single player as poor as the reviews suggest? Does the co-op match up to Modern Warfare's Spec Ops? And is the multiplayer the be-all and end-all of competitive online shooters?

In this issue Leon, Tony, Josh and Darren revisit two full-on action games from Japanese 'super-group' developer PlatinumGames. Bookending 2010, Bayonetta and Vanquish embraced their medium, but does such disregard for serious narrative hold up in the homes of the 2010's as it did in the arcades of the 1980's and 1990's? We also speculate on what forthcoming Platinum projects Anarchy Reigns, and the much talked about Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance will offer in 2012. http://media.blubrry.com/caneandrinse/caneandrinse.com/podcast/cane_and_rinse_issue_twelve.mp3   Music used in this issue: 1: One of a Kind by Hiroshi Yamaguchi 2: Fly me to the Moon by Julie London Cane and Rinse 12 was edited by Jay Taylor Do you have an opinion about this particular game or maybe about our podcast in general?
