Major Pluggage
It turns out I wasn’t the only one who got a kick out of that last video. It got picked up by some pretty high profile gaming blogs and news sites.
From Destructoid:
I’m excited for The Dishwasher because it represents something different on the XBLA horizon. I, for one, have had enough of the standard XNA fare with its miniature graphics, thrown-together “pew pew pew” gameplay, and disgusting overuse of the same red/green/blue/purple color palate. This game is stylish, it’s fast-paced, and it looks challenging and incredibly fun to play. It shows developers out there that a little creativity with XNA can go a long way.
From Xbox360fanboy.com:
How exactly the guitar sections — in which players match button inputs with corresponding prompts — meld with the game proper we have no idea, and honestly don’t care. All we know is it looks like glorious, violent fun.
From XBLArcade.com:
Along the way we have been granted various glimpses into the world of this dishwashing rampage. And perhaps those earlier videos left you wanting more? If so a new trailer has just arrived that features more blood, more insane massive damage combos, and more…guitar?
Thanks as always to these great sources for the coverage. I keep feeds on these sites, so it’s always a bit of a surprise to see The Dishwasher show up in the wild!

dude, i don’t think you know how much hit potential this game has… you’re going to be getting a lot of word of mouth promotion, because what little we’ve seen of dishwasher so far has been intensely buzzworthy…. nothing else on xbla is even remotely as interesting. i’ve been telling everyone i know about this game since i first heard about it, and i’m emailing all my friends at work every time you post even a modicum of new info. plus you won that content, which was kind of a high profile way to get the initial word out.

I can’t speak for the other guys, but at XBLArcade.com were more than happy to give as much coverage as we can to a game that looks as good as this one does.
Keep up the fantastic work!

Hey do you want me to create a Wikipedia page for the Dishwasher: Dead Samurai? I might as well since I have already did one for Ska itself.
