To Zune Users:
If you haven't been trying games on your Zune, you totally should. Here's how you do it:
First, download XNA Game Studio 3.0 CTP (click here to do so (http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=DF4AF56A-58A7-474C-BFD0-7CF8ED3036A3&displaylang=en)). Once downloaded, press Start > All Programs > Microsoft XNA Game Studio 3.0 (CTP) > XNA Game Studio Device Center. Use that to hook up your Zune and get it ready for some games. Once you get a game, you open the file in the main folder that ends in .sln or .csproj.

Once Microsoft Visual C# 2008 Express Edition has launched, press Build > Deploy (game name). Then go play!
Here's the game:
I made a fun mod of a game. It's called Rock Rain SD and it's a mod of Rock Rain. Here's some of the differences between this version and the original:
- Better controls
- Different graphics
- 16 different songs that you can cycle between while playing
- Lives system instead of power
- Performance enhancements
- And more!

I think this is a nice taste of a better quality game for the Zune. The 16 songs keep it fresh each time you play. Remember, this game is quite large, coming in at 260mb, so be ready for that. Click here to download it! (http://readyuplive.com/downloads/xna/RockRainSD.zip)
EDIT: NEW VERSION! YAY! (http://www.zuneboards.com/forums/download-completed-games/24017-v2-rock-rain-sd.html#post220210)
