Taking a cue from Peter Molyneux's Fable II review, The Dishwasher: Dead Samurai's developer, James Silva, took the opportunity to review his own game before its release. Silva declares that it's inexcusable for his game to have 2D graphics. 2D is "by definition" not HD and is "completely inadequate at capturing our imaginations." He also notes there are glaring omissions from the game like Blades of Chaos, a reasonably sized manskirt, nudity and a boss the "size of a large building." Silva's final verdict on his own game: 1/10.
OUCH! Well, we'll have to do a metareview on The Dishwasher: Dead Samurai when it eventually releases to see if the critics agree with the developer's harsh treatment of the title. We can only expect Silva will now put some actual work into his game after giving it such a harsh review.*
*We pity the fool who doesn't see the tongues firmly planted in cheeks regarding all this.

Funny, though in Pete's defense, I think he was reviewing the games final outcome in comparison to what he wanted it to be.

Yeah, the quote I saw asked him how well he thought they were able to do everything in the game he wanted to, and he said a 9 out of 10. I suppose it would have been better for him to say something like 90%, sounds less like a review and may not have been as misinterpreted as the 9/10 seems to be.
On that note, this review is hilarious. I love when people can make fun of their own work and not take it too seriously.

Never heard of this game before, but now that I have, I think I'll have to check it out, thanks to such raving reviews!

"A boss the size of a large building that takes roughly forty-five minutes to beat, during which the hero must perform at least two dozen quick time events, transform twice, travel through time, and discover something important about himself."
I want THIS game.

Trust Jim Silva.
Blood Zero, an old Ska Software release was X-Men Legends before X-Men Legends was. Dishwasher should be good.
