I found this great resource after reading some comments on my last article Beginning Game Development with MS .NET.

I must say I like the layout of these tutorials better, it not only shows you the code, but there is examples with Screen shots, so the walk thru to install and start running your first game with VB and XNA seems like a simple couple of steps.

I will delve further into these tutorials later, but for now, enjoy this great find.
