What are some famous games developed with .NET and/or XNA?



Are there famous games written in .Net and/or XNA?



Answer



Schizoid is a pretty successful XBLA game. Does that count? (not really, but its the best I could find)


I think what you mean is are there any AAA-scale games made using XNA and/or XNA GS. To that, the answer is no. The games industry has been very slow move past C/C++ as the gold standard. This isn't for no reason, most AAA games would rather trade all the nice syntax and runtime support for an extra 5FPS and 50MB less RAM usage since both of those directly translate to units sold. Granted there is argument for lower development costs and faster cycles, but thats a hard calculus to use in this industry.
