The Dishwasher: Dead Samurai is, on paper, my kind of game. It’s a side-scrolling, old-school styled 2D beat-em-up which pits you against all manner of baddies including the quintessential gaming cannon fodder, Zombies.
It’s concepts like this that are niche but will sell incredibly well to that niche that Xbox Live Arcade has thrived on delivering, and nothing is different here. This game, like Braid, was impressively built by one man – James Silva, who won a competition Microsoft held to get your home-brewed title onto Microsoft’s Live Arcade service for real.
