Eurogamer writes: "The Dishwasher: Dead Samurai is a side-scrolling 2D beat-'em-up in which you, an undead samurai dishwasher, mash up various cuts of cyborg and zombies using a range of sharp implements. So far, so Xbox Live Arcade, but the impressive thing is that it has all been put together by one man: James Silva, winner of the Microsoft Dream Build Play contest. The more impressive thing is that he's done a better job than the majority of full-time developers making Xbox Live Arcade games. And not just in a patronising, "Aw, hasn't he done well?" sense, but in a, "If you worked on Watchmen: The End is Nigh, how do you f***ing sleep at night?" sort of way."

Join us for seven achievements and trophies that really need some explaining."
The first Front Towards Gamer Radio interview in over a year, and we kick off 2015 with a doozy! Do you like Dark Souls? Well, what about a stylized, 2D Dark Souls? Well, look no further, because James and Michelle Silva, the two-headed juggernaut that makes up Ska Studios, has just the answer for you with Salt and Sanctuary! The Silvas also talk about where they came up with the concept of one of their first big hits, The Dishwasher, the transition from being an Microsoft developer and jumping over to Sony for the PS4, and why they changed their name from the original studio name, Totally Screwed?
Console Monster writes: "Today I had the opportunity to sit down with James Silva and Michelle Juett Silva, the folks behind the Dishwasher and Charlie Murder games. They took a bit of time to answer some questions about their latest title 'Salt and Sanctuary' and give some insight on the development process over at SkaStudios."
