Requirements to built your own games?

First of all hi.. i'm new to the programming games stuff.. so i would like to know if XNA Game Studio Express is a good way to start with programming languages? What are the main languages used in XNA Game Studio Express? C, C#, c++, VB? Does XNA Game Studio require a medium knowledge of this programming languages? or any newbie can learn how to program their own games without any knowledge of programming languages? Thanks in advance!!

XNA Game Studio Express is specifically targeted for people just like you. You will be able to use any of the .NET language (C#, VB, etc) to program using the XNA framework. You will need to know how to program in that language, but you don't need to be an expert to make your first game.

You also might want to check out the TorqueX engine being released by GarageGames. They have partnered with Microsoft and wrote game building software (for 2D and 3D games) using C# and XNA. Using this package will make parts of making your game as easy as dragging and dropping items.

Neither the XNA Game Studio Express or TorqueX has been released yet, so start working on those programming skills (I'd recommend C#, that's what most examples will be shown in) to get ready for their upcoming release.

Have fun and good luck!
