Sunday Comics: Dead Island Dust: An Elysian Tail, an entry in Microsoft’s XNA Dream Build Play competition, is not only the best looking video game we’ve seen from the contest, it might be the best looking downloadable Xbox 360 title ever.
A year and a half of drooling comes to fruition this Wednesday, as The Dishwasher: Dead Samurai rides a blood-soaked guitar riff onto Xbox Live Arcade.
One of the winners of Microsoft’s Dream-Build-Play competition, The Dishwasher: Dead Samurai will be making its way to an Xbox Live Arcade near you in the coming months. This XNA Game Studio Express hallmark was the fruit of James Silva’s labour, a stylish, two dimensional action shooter with all the right shoot ‘em up standards.
Thanks for the heads, up Epsilon!

Due to a double tie, the creators of Blazing Birds, The Dishwasher: Dead Samurai, Gravitron Ultra and Yo Ho Kablammo! will have a chance to sign publishing agreements with Xbox Live Arcade.
