    I checked out Little Gamers (MEH) and the Dishwasher (WOAH)

    The Dishwasher is one of the most polished games I've ever played made I'm amazed somebody (as in 1 person) could pull a game like that off. It's a classic Beat em up with a dash of Alien Hominid with the art style of Johnny the Homicidal manaic/Invader Zim.

    I haven't had a chance to play the others yet but I'm very impressed by the Dishwasher.

    I saw them in person here at GDC. I don't know, I just don't like the style of Dishwasher.

    Same. I thought it was well put together and stuff, but I'm not a big fan of that art style and the game got old fast. Real nice for XNA though, of course.

    I hold indie games on a different standard than regular games. Sadly most people don't

    I did play the Little Gamers preview - didn't think much of it, which is a bit of a shame as I quite enjoy the comic.

    I've downloaded and tried them all, but in all honesty none of them really appeal to me in the slightest.
    Then again, I've always held homebrews in disdain. If I'm going to spend my valuable time playing video games, then I prefer to play something polished by professional designers. Homebrew/XNA while good for some, just doesn't cut it for me.

    They were interesting, that's all really.

    For some reason I first read that to mean that downloads or XBL is illegal in Texas. It is Texas, after all... ;)
