Project Gotham Racing 3 and 4 – Cane and Rinse No.295 Nov 20, 2017

Show notes

Moving onto the last lap, Karl, Tony and returning guest Gary Blower round out the final two iterations in the Project Gotham Racing series. Project Gotham Racing 3, launch showcase title for the Xbox 360, a technical tour de force, but did it live up to the fond memories of PGR2 (as discussed in podcast issue 262)? Then Project Gotham Racing 4 introduced bikes into the series, but was it necessary - and did it help or hinder the experience? Join the team as we discuss the pros, the cons and the legacy left behind by the now defunct Liverpool studio, Bizarre Creations. Music used in this issue: 1. Shadow by The Prodigy 2.

Grim Fandango – Cane and Rinse No.291 Oct 23, 2017

Show notes

Tim Schafer's final game for LucasArts was his much-loved noir meets the Mexican Day of the Dead mashup, Grim Fandango. Has Manny Calavera's four year undead odyssey proved timeless, or - even when Remastered - have the visuals and puzzles seen better days? Leon and Karl plus returning guest Brian Tarran and Sound of Play Extra's Thomas Quillfeldt remember trying to resist consulting walkthroughs, meanwhile we have some sharply divided community correspondence regarding Grim Fandango's merits. Music used in this issue: 1. Casino Calavera by Peter McConnell 2. End Credits by Peter McConnell Cane and Rinse 291 was edited by Jay Taylor (@JaySevenZero).

Bayonetta 2 – Cane and Rinse No.290 Oct 16, 2017

Show notes

Autumn 2014 saw PlatinumGames' Bayonetta 2 arrive as a Wii U exclusive, reviewed well and showcased the Japanese developer's talents for creating mind boggling set-pieces, deeply technical combat and naked ladies summoning hair demons. Leon, Leah, Michiel and special guest - hardcore Bayonetta player and superfan Yoshesque (@yoshesque) - discuss the game in both its own right and as a sequel to the much-lauded 2009 original. As usual we also hear from the Cane and Rinse community, which is divided as to whether Bayo 2 is an improvement upon, or a step back from the Hideki Kamiya-directed predecessor. Music used in this issue: 1. The Legend of Aesir by Hiroshi Yamaguchi 2.
