Mike Klucher: XNA Framework games running on Zune

Motocross Madness! Nothing but hills and trees in the entire terrain, and it was still awesome to just jump around in, or cross the borders and get launched, with gunshot and all, back into the playable area. God, I loved that game.

I was hoping that you could do stuff with the actual media on the Zune. This looks pretty cool. You could, for instance, play a certain genre of music based on the mood of a level. Or you could even change the mood of the game: make stuff dark and gritty if the user recently played a lot of death metal, for instance, while making levels bright and colourful if the user's mood is happier and he's been playing a lot of Mika.

Or you could just punish a player for actually having a Mika song on his Zune in the first place.

I remember there once being an RTS game that took place inside your computer: levels looked like directory structures that were actually on that PC, and you had to protect your own files, for instance. It was pretty ingenious, maybe something could be done here, where levels somehow consist of your albums or something.

Does this work with videos and such, too?
