James Silva and Ska Studios

James Silva is the one-man gaming genius behind Ska Studios. Until Dishwasher: Dead Samurai was released on Xbox Live Arcade, James Silva was just like any other indie game developer: unnoticed by the general public. He put out some great home-made games like the Zombie Smashers series (which I highly recommend to fans of zombies, punk and ska music, and old-school brawlers) and a fantastic sandbox-style survival horror game Survival Crisis X. Both of these are PC exclusive and Survival Crisis X is now free under the game tab on his website skastudios.com. I must say that Survival Crisis X has some of the best ideas for a zombie game I've seen in a while. A sandbox zombie game is definately the way survival-horror should be played. It's like a mix of Diablo 2, Left 4 Dead, and Grand Theft Auto. If only a next-gen version would come out...anyway, I just wanted to give a shout-out to James Silva for making such fun, creative, and simplistic games. I mean really, what other game developers have made a game that has zombies, ninjas, mummies, nazis, punks, and rudeboys in it all at once?
