Head of Electronic Imaging and Media Communications (EIMC) at the University of Bradford, Dr Ian Palmer, said: "We're very pleased to be part of the initial launch of Microsoft's XNA Game Studio Express.

I did Game Design at college, only thing we could use was 3DStudioMax. I'm not doing Game Design at Uni, I'm doing Ba Interactive Design, I hope I can use XNA during my 3 years at Uni to demonstrate some interactive ideas I have.
