simoniker writes "Microsoft has announced XNA Studio at the Game Developers Conference in San Francisco. Based on Visual Studio 2005 Team System, XNA Studio is an integrated, team-based development environment tailored specifically for video game development, and will likely launch as a PC retail product early in 2006. Gamasutra has an interview with XNA's Chris Satchell with more details on what Microsoft sees as a solution for ever-expanding cost and complexity in game development."

    Nope, Bungie did.

    There's nothing I hate more than when someone says a game is made by a publisher...that's like saying, oh hey man, did you hear that new Sony song? Yeah, man but what about the new Dreamworks album? Or, those Warner Brothers sure know how to direct a good movie...
