 Vessel / Dear Esther – Cane and Rinse No.34 | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 1:56:10

Tony, James, Josh and Darren are your panel for two contrasting titles. Strange Loop’s Vessel is a puzzle-platformer with a steampunk aesthetic and an emphasis on physics. While thechineseroom’s Source Engine adventure Dear Esther exists almost entirely without videogame conventions or ludological concerns, instead focusing entirely on relating a story to the participant. Find out if the crew believe that that each succeeded in its aims. http://media.blubrry.com/caneandrinse/caneandrinse.com/podcast/cane_and_rinse_issue_thirty_four.mp3   Music used in this issue: 1: Vessel by Jon Hopkins 2: Sleepwalker by Jon Hopkins 3: The Bone of Jakobsen by Jessica Curry Cane and Rinse 34 was edited by Darren Gargette Do you have an opinion about this particular game or maybe about our podcast in general?

“The world has room for only one big boss!” In the third of our six Metal Gear 25th anniversary specials Leon, Tony, James and Ready-Up‘s Paul Rooney come to that most controversial of instalments, Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty. Did this much anticipated title represent a new echelon in interactive storytelling, or was it the start of the slippery slope for Kojima and gaming in general? http://media.blubrry.com/caneandrinse/caneandrinse.com/podcast/cane_and_rinse_issue_thirty_three.mp3   Music used in this issue: 1: Metal Gear Solid Main Theme by Tappi Iwase (arranged by Harry Gregson-Williams) 2: Fortune by Norihiko Hibino 3: Twilight Sniping by Norihiko Hibino 4: Can’t Say Goodbye to Yesterday by Rika Muranaka (vocal by Carla White) Cane and Rinse 33 was edited by Sean O’Brien Do you have an opinion about this particular game or maybe about our podcast in general?
