The Dishwasher: Dead Samurai out on XBLA this week photo

It's been so long since the trial for The Dishwasher: Dead Samurai was released that I can hardly remember any of the specific things that made the game so much fun to play. But, I do recall the feeling of pure exhilaration it caused me to experience, which is why I'm so damned excited to play it.

In case you forgot, Dead Samurai was developed by one man, James Silva, and is proof that XNA is a viable development platform. It'll be interesting to see how far the game has come since it was last shown in playable form, but even if very little has been improved, it should still be a total blast to play.

Best of all, Dead Samurai is only 800 Microsoft Points. For once, we aren't being completely ripped off. Thanks for being so considerate, fellas.

I need to be reacquainted with this game. It seems like years since I tried that demo.

I remember hearing this game about last year. But is it worth the price?

I think I'll have to get this on principle alone as the massive amounts of blood makes me smile.

This game is a ton of fun. I just downloaded it and all I can say is WOW. It's intenst, visceral combat.

There is also a bounty of health, but you'll need it on the higher difficulties, the game isn't afraid to kick your ass if you aren't careful. You also get probably the best weapon in the game right away, a katana that lets you teleport all over the goddamn place.
