XNA Game Studio released!

XNA_Hero_Banner2.jpgThis is cool. We've just released v1 of the XNA Game Studio.  XNA Game studio allows you to develop games for both Windows and the XBOX 360 using Visual Studio or Visual C# Express (free).

In addition we've also launched the Creators Club which is a subscription based service available through the XBOX Live platform (US$99 for 12 months) that gives developers a load of resources from both Microsoft and partners including starter kits, white papers and other "game assets" (I didn't know games had assets....).

You can download XNA Game Studio Express now.  You will also want to visit the Game Studio Express home page here to get more information.
