Microsoft’s Community Games, the Xbox Live project, has entered closed beta. With XNA, users are able to create games and rate the work of others the winners of which will be posted on XBL. Only those who have paid for premium membership ($99 and year, $49 for 4 months) will be able to take part in the closed beta.
At GDC recently, Microsoft revealed some XNA games as demos on Live, and yesterday David Edery talked about the Community Games initiative in some detail with GamesIndustry.biz, and hinted that he thinks that XNA will “leapfrog WiiWare and PSN in downloadable space”.
Afterwards, Edery, in a rare bit of macho enthusiasm, ripped his shirt off, flexed his muscles and called Shigeru Miyamoto a wimp, SCEE President David Reeves a nancy-boy and challenged both to a cage-match in the middle of Madison Square Gardens.
