Latest Episodes:

Metroid Prime 3: Corruption – Cane and Rinse No.606 Mar 19, 2024

Show notes

We round off our coverage of Retro Studios' Phazon trilogy with our Metroid Prime 3: Corruption deep-dive review. Leon, Brian and Leah - along with contributions from our faithful community crew - suit up and blast off to strange, new alien worlds in search of a lasting peace. With 17 years of hindsight, what did the motion-controls and much-maligned 'waggle' bring to the Samus experience?

Brave Fencer Musashi – Cane and Rinse No.605 Mar 12, 2024

Show notes

In the late 1990s, a swashbuckling and experimental Square released a Zelda-like action RPG based on historic samurai, Miyamoto Musashi. Why not, eh? Join Chris Worthingon, Brian, Dan and Leah as we look at whether the game (like the legend of Musashi himself) has stood the test of time.

Katamari Damacy series – Cane and Rinse No.604 Mar 05, 2024

Show notes

Cane and Rinse is on a roll this week as Ryan, Jesse, Leah, and Chris take a twenty-year trip through the history of Katamari Damacy, from the PlayStation 2 original to the PS Vita conclusion and all of the spinoffs and delisted mobile games in between.

Hi-Fi Rush – Cane and Rinse No.603 Feb 27, 2024

Show notes

A relatively up-to-date title for our latest podcast, and the second team selection of 2024. It's Hi-Fi Rush! Leon, Brian, Leah and Tony (who picked this game for the show) - along with contributions from the Cane and Rinse Patreons and forumites - get on down with Tango Gameworks character rhythm-action shadow drop banger.

Stacking – Cane and Rinse No.602 Feb 20, 2024

Show notes

The first team-curated selection of the year goes to Double Fine's Stacking. Leon, Brian (who chose this one for the volume), Ryan, Tony and contributors from the Cane and Rinse community nestle into director Lee Petty's marvelous marriage of matryoshka and mystification.

Strider Hiryu – Cane and Rinse No.601 Feb 13, 2024

Show notes

We're back, yet again, for our thirteenth year of podcasts, and we kick off 2024 with a look at a 35 year-old arcade stunner. Leon, Chris Worthington, Michiel and Sean dash and slash their way through Capcom's coin-op of choreographed set-pieces, Strider Hiryu. Along with contributions from the Cane and Rinse community, we also investigate Strider's precursors, ports, the spin-offs and successors.

Demon’s Souls – Cane and Rinse No.600 Jan 23, 2024

Show notes

Wrapping up another year of Cane and Rinse podcasts, we revisit Demon's Souls, this time focusing on the PlayStation launch remake from 2020, put together by Bluepoint Games. Leon, James, Rich, Tom and community contributors drift about the Nexus, boasting of builds, strats and boss techniques. Of course we also consider the game's system-selling paint-job, and any aesthetic pros and cons that come with this comprehensive audiovisual 'glow-up'.

Into the Breach – Cane and Rinse No.599 Jan 16, 2024

Show notes

When we covered Subset's previous game, FTL back in... wait, what? Apparently we didn't. Perhaps in the future then. Anyway, here we are with mech vs. Vek strategic manoeuvres in Subset's sophomore effort, Into the Breach. Leon, Brian, Chris O'Regan, James and community contributors wrangle robots and defy insectoid kaiju in this issue of the podcast.

Slay the Spire – Cane and Rinse No.598 Jan 09, 2024

Show notes

Seattle didn’t invent grunge or coffee shops, but it certainly popularised them. Seattle's Mega Crit didn’t invent roguelike deck builders, but… you get the idea. Chris, James, Jesse, and Leah venture ever upwards to confront the Corrupted Heart and ultimately Slay the Spire!

Yakuza 6: The Song of Life – Cane and Rinse No.597 Jan 02, 2024

Show notes

Is this really the end of Kiryu’s journey? Well, we know it’s not, but at the time of release, Yakuza 6: The Song of Life was the final chapter in Kiryu’s story. Join Brian, Leah and Michiel as they examine whether or not this was a fitting final chapter for the Dragon of Dojima.
