Alien: Isolation – Cane and Rinse No.242 Oct 09, 2016

Show notes

In this issue Josh, Tony and Sean, along with special guest and writer for PC Gamer Andy Kelly, step aboard the dilapidated space station the Sevastopol, and encounter the monstrous alien life form that emerged from H.R. Giger's imagination. Drawing more from the 1979 original feature film than its sequel, Creative Assembly's 2014 release puts the focus on surviving one Alien, rather than killing many Aliens. Join us under the table, trying desperately to hold our breathe, in Alien: Isolation.

D4: Dark Dreams Don’t Die – Cane and Rinse No.240 Sep 25, 2016

The daring and diligent dudes of digital dialogue discuss the deviant, delerious Dark Dreams Don't Die.

Dino Dini and Steve Screech collaborated in the late 80's to make the 16-bit footy phenomenon that was a ubiquitous multiplayer fixture for the next two to three years, at least until Sensible Soccer came and stole away its title.

(a.k.a. Dino Dini's Soccer). Supported by our faithful fans, we also bring things up to date with talk of the ongoing Kick Off scene and a brief look at the recent release of Dino Dini's Kick Off Revival.
