As many of you have probably heard by now, XNA Game Studio Express and the XNA Creators Club have been released. This allows you to write games for Windows and your Xbox 360. Super cool.

Some folks may be wondering how to get started. First, I suggest you go through the getting started documentation that is included in XNA Game Studio Express. There is a wealth of good information that will help you get started, including system requirements and how to setup your Windows PC and Xbox 360. Next, I suggest you go through the installed documentation which includes a series of How-To to which introduce our framework and how to quickly integrate features (graphics, sound, input, etc) in to a game. Finally, Spacewar is a complete end-to-end application that you follow to create, build, debug, and deploy to your Windows and Xbox 360 console.

Enjoy!

oh yea, one of the things that I found difficult was finding graphics and other assets. Check out our partners pages for some useful links! http://msdn.microsoft.com/directx/XNA/partners/default.aspx
