You can use C# for games, that's why XNA is there. Most Indie Game developers for Xbox, use the XNA Framework (might be all of them, I'm not sure).Quote:

Torque and Unity3d has a community of great developers , lots of help , and examples are available for both , making your life so easy that you can "almost" do everything by yourself.
While everyone is talking about game engines, I would suggest to look at something like Ogre3d. It's not as complicated as writing everything from start, yet it does require you to know some technical aspects.
unity3D easy!
Great news , I just found out that Torque 3D is free , also Open Source. It was around $45 when I first started working with it , and that was like 4 years ago. So you are lucky to have a full game engine as powerfull as Torque for free.
Wow I didnt even know they were free :3 they have physx integration as well.Quote:
