“The Belmont family has a long history of Vampire Hunters.”In our latest Castlevania show we land At Konami's second attempt at bringing the full-fat horror platformer experience to handheld in Castlevania II: Belmont's Revenge. Leon, Brian, Jon, Leah and listener contributors find a slightly yet significantly upgraded protagonist - and one who can now even use axes and holy water - in this assault on Dracula's real estate portfolio. Special praise is doled out for a remarkable 8-bit soundtrack, though significant ire is reserved for an especially tough final showdown.http://media.blubrry.com/caneandrinse/caneandrinse.com/podcast/cane_and_rinse_issue_576.mp3Music featured in this issue:1.

Castlevania II: Belmont’s Revenge – Cane and Rinse No.576

“Once upon a time… in a wild, wild world… there were two wolf brothers…”For brothers Sean and Daniel Diaz, the bond they share might be the only thing they can really count on when a terrible accident changes their lives forever. Join Leah, Brian, Jon and Tony as they follow the brothers’ trail all the way down the west coast of the US, and explore all the people they meet and circumstances they must navigate along the way. In Dontnod’s 2018 episodic adventure Life Is Strange 2, many challenges await the pair, and how they turn out depends on the choices you make - so choose carefully.http://media.blubrry.com/caneandrinse/caneandrinse.com/podcast/cane_and_rinse_issue_575.mp3Music featured in this issue:1.

“BRAVE FOR ENTER BOSOM”Treasure's 10th release was also its first out-and-out shmup, and what an impact it made. A niche title made in small numbers on an unpopular machine (in the West at least) that became a legendary game. Leon, Chris Worthington, James and Michiel each have a different history with Radiant Silvergun from 'back in the day' 25 years ago right up to recent encounters via the Xbox and Switch versions.

Luigi’s Mansion: Dark Moon – Cane and Rinse No.567

Been listening for years. Re listen to my favorites frequently. Keep up the great work

The greatest video game discussion podcast

I am new to this podcast. I have heard of it in the past from some cross-pollination with Bonfireside Chat and it has been on my “to listen” pile for a long time. Boy do I regret not listening sooner! This podcast is incredibly enjoyable. The games discussion is always light yet substantial. It is very relaxing and an overall great time. There tends to be a nice variety in viewpoints about the game covered and in the end the hosts try to be as positive as they can be. The huge variety in games covered is a plus as well. I plan to be a listener for a long while now. A very strong recommendation. Wishing everyone who provides the show the best.

Incredibly and Naturally Enjoyable

“It doesn't matter how much you push the envelope, it'll still be stationery.” Oft-requested, once delayed, here at last is our podcast devoted to Naughty Dog's critically acclaimed The Last of Us*. Leon, Jay, Josh and Sean talk about the story, the cut-scenes, the performances and - yes - the gameplay, in both vanilla PS3 and PS4 Remastered releases. We also touch upon the multiplayer and share a glut of fantastic community posts reflecting some extreme opinions on the game, both positive and negative. *In addition to the original podcast on Naughty Dog‘s critically acclaimed The Last of Us recorded back in 2014, Leon and Jay sat down and recorded an additional section that focuses on the recent remake, The Last of Us Part I, released in 2022. The new section can be found after the original recording at the two hour mark. <a href="http://media.blubrry.com/caneandrinse/caneandrinse.com/podcast/cane_and_rinse_issue_144_redux.mp3" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">http://media.blubrry.com/caneandrinse/caneandrinse.com/podcast/cane_and_rinse_issue_144_redux.mp3</a> Music featured in this issue:1.

Batman: Arkham City – Cane and Rinse No.105

“You don't seriously think a conservative mind can chart a new course for the world, do you?”For the first time ever - as we continue our run through the mainline Resident Evil games - we give a game a second Cane and Rinse podcast treatment. 13 years on from its release and seven years since we last reviewed, it, Capcom's hugely well reviewed Resident Evil 4 comes under the microscope once again. Leon, Karl, Leah and Sean are your panel this time around as we pick up some of the elements that we missed in our first show, including the critical adaptive difficulty working behind the scenes. Of course the current Cane and Rinse community also gets its say on this mostly adored - but certainly not by everyone - action horror.http://media.blubrry.com/caneandrinse/caneandrinse.com/podcast/cane_and_rinse_issue_336.mp3Music used in this issue:1.
