The Cane and Rinse videogame podcast Cane and Rinse

James, Karl, Leah, and Tony go on an intrepid adventure through the Angolan jungle and Canadian Rockies hot on the trail of everyone’s favourite Canadian can opener.

It’s not often that a movie tie-in outshines its movie, but back in 2009 Raven Software seemed to achieve that with X-Men Origins: Wolverine. We know Logan ages gracefully, but will his game fare so well?

Chris O'Regan interviews Mariona Valls and Jordi Garcia of Mango Protocol about the design and development of CLeM, a comedy horror adventure game.

The Sausage Factory is an interview-based podcast that lifts the lid on the makers of videogames. It examines the way in which games are made by asking the very people who create them, though the questions asked aren't just about game design, they also cover how developers made their start and what inspires them as creators.







Split into two halves, the first segment delves into what makes the developers tick by asking about how they started, what and who inspires them and what games they are currently playing, whereas the second part of the show covers the game that they are currently working on and the thought processes behind its development. So, if you really want to hear about a game's gestation in full and frank detail then you have found the right podcast.

Four years since we covered Super Mario Odyssey, and 35 years after its release, it's time for Super Mario Land to get the Cane and Rinse podcast treatment. Leon, Chris Worthington, James and Leah raid the cupboards in search of enough batteries to beat the platforming plumber's first outing. Which isn't many batteries. Because the game is really short. As usual we also get memories and opinions shared by a number of the game's 18 million plus players as we await Super Mario Land's arrival on the Nintendo Switch.

From the Dragon of Dojima to the Hero of Yokohama, what was old is new again. Join Brian, Karl, Leah and Rich as they examine Yakuza: Like a Dragon. Are the shifts in genre and protagonist enough to elevate this evolutionary title?

"Version Upgrade" NieR Replicant ver.1.22474487139… arrived just over a decade after the original(s), promising a slicker experience and new lore to add to Yoko Taro's intricate mix. Leon, Leah (who nominated this one for the podcast having missed out on our original show back in 2014), James and Sean break down the themes as best they can, with invaluable contributions from forum and Patreon contributors. We address some of the more controversial aspects of the piece, and a wide range of opinions on overall experience are offered.

More than a decade after his untimely death, Datasoft released this 8-bit computer game based upon the legend of Hong Kong/US martial arts movie star, Bruce Lee. Leon, Chris O'Regan and Jesse - along with contributions from the wonderful Cane and Rinse community - dissect this brief but punchy action platformer with kung fu elements, from its intriguing opening to its surreally simple conclusion. We also take a look at the game's many ports, successors and fan-made follow-up.
