XNA community gaming arrives on Xbox Live

GDC08:Microsoft announces new indie games service for Xbox Live - and seven debut offerings are available now

During its GDC 2008 opening keynote, Microsoft has unveiled its answer to the often-speculated idea of 'a gaming YouTube', with a service called Xbox Live Community Games – and Microsoft has got the ball rolling by adding a number of new games to the service made by amateur developers from around the world.

Seven games created using XNA Game Studio 2.0 are available immediately for Xbox 360 owners to download from Xbox Live Marketplace.
