Xbox Gaming writes: "James Silva, aka Ska Studios, can be proud of the job that he has done on The Dishwasher: Dead Samurai. Starting out as an XNA Community games project, The Dishwasher went on to win Microsoft's Dream Build Play contest, finally ending up as a fully fledged Xbox Live Arcade title. Although it has been a long road for Silva, the biggest challenge lies ahead: Does The Dishwasher: Dead Samurai match up to the likes of Bionic Commando: Rearmed, Braid, Castle Crashers or the other great Arcade offerings out there."

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."
The earliest generations of video gamers have now grown into the people who create all forms of entertainment. Among them is Schenectady, New York resident Michelle Juett Silva. As one-half of the married couple behind indie video game developer Ska Studios, she has turned a lifelong love of video gaming into a storied industry career.
