Ninja Gaiden – Cane and Rinse No.266 May 01, 2017

Show notes

The art of the Ninja is one of subtlety, patience and stealth. However, no one told Mr. Hayabusa this, and so Josh Garrity, Sean O'Brien and Michiel Kroder bare witness to Ryu figuratively tear up the Ninja guide book and paint the streets of Tairon red with the blood of every soldier, fiend and even a few fellow Ninja he encounters. Does Team Ninja's cavalcade of chaotic carnage strike true with our panel? Join us as we take a look at Ninja Gaiden.

Diablo III – Cane and Rinse No.265 Apr 24, 2017

Show notes

In this three-man dungeon run Cane and Rinse, we delve deep on (almost) everything Diablo, briefly discussing the first two games in the series before hacking and slashing our way through the third game - expansions, updates, warts and all. Darren hosts this week's issue along with panellists Karl and Sean, and our party of three discuss the evolution of Condor Games' original idea for Diablo (1), all the way through to the live Blizzcon panel in which heavy constructive criticism was encouraged from the audience which ultimately helped to shape Diablo III's future. Also, as usual, we are showered with some shiny loot from the forum.

They chat about finding inspiration for games, developing for unique hardware, and balancing multi-modal challenges. Mattia also gives a detailed history of developing a Kinect game at a time when Microsoft was just about ready to pull the plug on the peripheral.

The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds – Cane and Rinse No.261 Mar 26, 2017

Show notes

In the final podcast of our Zelda run spanning the first 27 or so years of the series, Leon, James, Josh and Leah arrive at Triforce of the Gods 2 - better known in the West as The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds. Not for the first time, Nintendo turned to Zelda III on the SNES - the original Triforce of the Gods, a.k.a. A Link to the Past for inspiration when it came to bringing the classic 2D Zelda formula to the 3DS. But is it simply 'the classic formula'? Significant changes are in place upon which our panel and contributors reflect.
