Microsoft is looking to create a “YouTube for games” by distributing a
light version of its XNA development platform for free. Anyone with
some skill and desire will soon be able to create games that will run
on both Windows and Xbox.

This could be huge.

After a few levels, it gets pretty hard, but remains engaging enough that you’ll continue playing despite your frustration… Ok then, just click the link and check it out already!

Ever wanted to crash a bike into a guy so hard as to send him flying hundreds of feet through the air into crowds of people? No? It’s fun, give it a shot!
