Microsoft has announced that the XNA Game Studio Express public beta is now available from MSDN. So all new devs (and old school devs) got downloaded it and get started on the game you've always wanted to make. This version will only compile for Windows XP and Windows Vista. Once the final build is released developers will be able to purchase a subscription for $99 a year that will give them the ability to compile for the Xbox360.

I've got an idea for a game that I could make. It will feature a hapless blogger wading through press releases and PR sites trying to find something no one else has yet, all while dodging spam and pop ups. Maybe I'll call it blogwars. Heh.

Yesterday, PSP Fanboy linked to an IGN exclusive on Codemasters remake of Cannon Fodder well, this morning I received an e-mail with some screens that were not part of the IGN write up…

I'm really excited about this one. I have many fond memories of the Amiga version so hopefully this will live up to the original. In fact, I think I need to break out my WHDLoad DVD and play for a while.

*update* Fixed WHDLoad link.

Wraggster over at DCEmu has posted an interview with homebrew developer Exophase. Exophase is the author of the "fullspeed" GameBoy Advance emulator for the PSP. I have yet to try the emulator out but, word on the interweb is that its a good piece of software. Maybe I'll take a few moments to try it out tomorrow.
