As part of their XNA:The First Wave feature, OXM highlighted some of today’s most exciting XNA homebrew games including the Racing Game featured in our book.

Amazingly the project was completed in just over a month, though you wouldn’t know it to look at or play it: Nitschke believes it to be one of the the best-looking XNA games available today.

I agree, and the game play is great. Once the book publishes next month we will release the source code for all 6 games:

    XNA Pong
    Tetris clone
    Rocket Commander XNA
    Space Shooter
    Racing Game
    Speedy Racer
