What’s a game made of? In this video, follow Josh Foss as he maps out a 2D shooter game design from start to finish in just four minutes. Watch, then code along with the tutorial at http://create.msdn.com/education/tutorial/2dgame/design.

I appreciate these videos but they are very low on technical content. After watching these I am not able to make such a game at all. It's like saying "a bridge is a bunch of stones on top of each other in an arc, now build a bridge". You need to show how it's done. Show visual studio. Give an overview of the classes and methods available. Most importantly: show the code. Somebody who already knows how to do it will be nodding in agreement through these videos, but that does not mean that it enables a beginner to do anything.

Okay, I thought it was just these videos, but now I see that there is accompanying text and code at http://create.msdn.com/en-US/education/tutorial/2dgame/design Superb, exactly what I needed. Now I feel stupid for not noticing that -.-
