Will http://frozeninflames.net XNA Requirements Installer to install XNA 2.0. Good luck developing networked games! On another note, I've set up XNA Arcade, a site that will hopefully enable gamers to enjoy XNA games quickly and easily. A few months ago, Kyle Schouviller wrote an XNA Arcade application and he put out a call for trackers/games to help make this thing work. Since then, nobody has come out with a site to fill this niche, so I had some free time the other day and put together a quick site/tracker to help out. I've always thought it was a good idea, and I felt like playing around with Drupal a little bit. So check it out, submit your games, and spread the word.]]> tag:www.xnamatrix.com,2007:/blog//2.475 2007-10-11T07:22:12Z 2007-10-11T07:36:34Z
