If you are a lucky Zune HD owner, you probably know by now about the new 3d games released by Microsoft after firmware 4.3 release. Probably the most anticipated game was Project Gotham Racing: Ferrari Edition, which was shown in advertisements for the Zune HD as well.

It’s hard for me to judge how this game is supposed to be played, but it doesn’t hold a candle to the ones that are already available for Zune HD via the store or even the simple ones in the App Store. The developer says he...
Developers are already working hard at the new Zune HD with XNA Studio 3.1, with an app ported to it from the iPhone in 12 hours. Here’s another game which is included in XNA Game Studio 3.1 and can be built to run on your Zune HD. You will need Visual Studio 2008 or the free Visual Studio C# Express along with XNA Studio 3.1 to get this...
