Summary

Leon, James, Josh, Sean and Ready-Up's Dan Bendon return to review Square Enix' late summer 2011 smash, Deus Ex: Human Revolution. Did Eidos Montreal's prequel do justice to the legacy of Ion Storm's seminal 2000 original and justify those stellar scores, or was it a case of "right place, right time" for a game which wasn't even fit to lace the cybernetic-ally enhanced boots of disappointing 2003 sequel Invisible War? http://media.blubrry.com/caneandrinse/caneandrinse.com/podcast/cane_and_rinse_issue_eleven.mp3 Music used in this issue: 1: Main Menu by Michael McCann 2: Icarus by Main Theme by Michael McCann Cane and Rinse 11 was edited by Jay Taylor Do you have an opinion about this particular game or maybe about our podcast in general?

0:55.1	Due to our self-imposed time restriction, as well as Editor Jay's ever-diminishing sanity,

1:50.8	a never-ending summer drought, well, to many people anyway, not to me, because I've got this backlog that numbers in the hundreds, a lot of people said that there was a particularly awful summer drought, probably because they weren't playing Bastion.
2:17.1	But then in August came the first sort of big retail release of the quarter three period,
2:23.0	DOSX Human Revolution.
2:24.2	So it was a sequel, obviously, to Deos X and the often forgotten Deos X Invisible War, both by Iron Storm.
