The dishwasher is ok, but not nearly as good as Alien Hominid. At 400 points it could do alright.

I personally didn't like Alien Hominid whatsoever, whereas love Dishwasher from what I've played so far and can't wait for a proper release. So there are obviously some differences that set them apart which define the difference for a personal hate-worthy game and an utterly brilliant one. Accessability and fairness is one.

I found the titles I tried (Culture, Jelly Car & Dishwasher) interesting but not things I would have paid money for. To be fair Dishwasher is one which other people seem to like but is just not my cuppa.
@Darkedge They said they were aiming for 1000 releases before the end of the year. I think periodically do another batch is well under the plans they have. Needs a way to sort through the crap to unearth the gems - but I suppose that is what EG is for :). A Youtube type rating system is something I've seen mooted but not sure it is a "would like to have" or an official aspect. Coupled with this announcement was that XNA has now been made free for students. Hence the number of titles could balloon substatially. |

So, many moons after the XNA (Xbox Nautical Acclimatiser) was first announced,"
For goodness sake, people! Do your bloody research. It stands for Xylophone Naked Arousal, for reasons that are FAR too obvious to go into. http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/directx... |

Dan, please don't use the words "hot", "amateur" and "beaver" in such close proximity in future. It can be most alarming.

I am not terribly fond of the frantic gameplay in Dishwasher, but the art and style of this game are absolutely top notch! It's an incredibly impressive effort.
I also tried the Jelly Car and it is a very fun concept too, I just don't think it can carry an extended game. But as a five minute romp (especially if it should ever feature a possibilty for user created downloadable content) it's very solid and enjoyable. |

Found most of them pretty meh. JellyCar was ok and Dishwasher kept me playing surprisingly even if it felt a bit like Viewtiful Joe which I find a bit gash.
Rocketball is awful though and Little Friends is pretty boring too. At one point in the latter, you get in a Mech Warrior type thing and it's actually harder to kill the bad guys... nice one... |

Jellycar is essentially Elastomania with a couple of tweaks. It's fun though

my tolerance for IGN-site rip-offs like Eurogamer... *LULZ*
http://little-gamers.com/index.php?comic... -- I'm seriously mad at the STUPID and uncalled comment about Little Gamers web comic being a Penny Arcade rip-off. Guess the review dude never even visited the site because he's comparing apples to oranges. |
