Summary

"My vengeance... ends now!" For the first show proper Leon, Tony and Jay are joined by Darren Forman to discuss Sony Santa Monica's God of War III. We also turn our thoughts to other games in the God of War franchise and discuss Kratos' future. As well as this we then investigate the respective design decisions made within the so-called 'hack and slash' genre by Western and Eastern developers: Are they really so different or is that a commonly perpetuated myth? http://media.blubrry.com/caneandrinse/caneandrinse.com/podcast/cane_and_rinse_issue_one.mp3 Cane and Rinse 1 was edited by Jay Taylor Do you have an opinion about this particular game or maybe about our podcast in general? Then why not venture into our forum and leave us your feedback. Whilst there you could also interact with our ever-growing and friendly community, in discussing past, present and future videogames (and lots of other stuff too!) and perhaps even arrange some games with like-minded individuals. Sound good? Come and say hello at The Cane and Rinse forum In this Quick Rinse, Josh takes on The Gods of Olympus themselves:

0:00.0	I'm Hello and welcome to the Canaan Rince podcast, Volume 1, Issue 1, this week to mark the recent release of the upscaled Ready at Dawn duo of Chains of Olympus and Ghost of Sparta HD on PlayStation 3, we're returning to brutally dissect via QuickTime event March 2010's God of War 3. Confusingly, the sixth and apparently final chapter in Kratos Mythic saga.
0:56.2	Warning, there will be spoilers.
0:59.1	With me today, I have Tony Atkins.
0:59.9	Hello.

1:02.5	Hello.
1:05.4	And introducing Darren Foreman.
1:06.5	Hello, guys.
1:06.9	Who's Dylan?
1:09.1	Ah, there he was.
1:10.2	My name's Leon Cox.
1:11.3	I don't think I said that.
1:16.2	So here we are to talk about God of War III in particular, but no doubt we'll also touch upon other games in the series, influences of and by and other related topics.
1:22.5	So let's start at the very beginning.
1:25.5	First thing I noticed, gents, about this game that I think is unusual,
1:29.5	particularly in this day and age, is that it kicks off with an extended, a four-minute-long,

1:39.4	days are kind of, you know, they're just there on a top menu, and you click on them, and they
1:42.5	just scroll up the screen.
1:51.6	This very much sets its stall out as a cinematic experience right from the start.
1:54.7	Apparently, Kratos wants vengeance on the gods.
2:02.1	He makes that abundantly clear, and the game starts pretty much exactly where God of War II left off, I believe, with Cretos, Cretos assaulting Mount Olympus, the home of the gods astride the Titan Gaya,
