just curious as to any suggestions for a free game engine I can use to make PC games with, I have been Programming in C++ and C# all through college and internships so I feel very comfortable with either of the languages but have never really explored game developement with the exception of RPGmaker and GameMaker. with that being said I'm looking for an engine/Development tools I can use that would be the most intuitive/accessible. (please don't say gameMaker or RPGmaker, those are horrible to work)
XNA is always a good place to start in my opinion.
There's some pretty cool stuff that's written in XNA:

I have done some work with Ogre, which is a c++ library. Not really convivial since it is only a library but powerful enough. There is some good tutorials on their website.

College student about to major in CS. Just want to know if it really matter what language you learn first?
Seems to me CS and the nature of our work is about problem solving. Different language seems to differ in syntax, libraries you can use, etc. etc. But when it comes down to it, if you know how to solve a particular problem in one language, you could do it in other languages as well right? I mean surely some languages are better tools and can do a more elegant job, but at the end of the day the ideas are still the same right?
It doesn't matter what language you use. The algorithm underneath is the main thing that matters.

I have spent some time reading wiki and Virtual Machines by James Smith and Ravi Nair.
I know that Virtualization is (in layman's term) enacting the behaviour or performance of something.
Now it so happens that I have to make a presentation on virtualization technology. I will have to implement a small working model also.
I am a decent Java coder with experience in C#.NET, JSP, ASP.NET, Ruby, Perl and MSSql. Virtualization is very much new to me. Hence I don't know which tools to use, what material to refer(for practicals) and so on.
My interest is anything that has a good coding-knowledge requirement. I would love to do something in Java or C#. Can anyone please suggest a project that can be achieved by a team of 2 in around two months?

I'm just starting with both C# and XNA and I wanted to know where I can get good beginner tutorials. I've already checked out box2d.org, but since I am a complete beginner with C# and XNA, I can't understand what code I have to put where.
Update:
I want to use box2d.xna instead of Farseer physics because I am making an Xbox game, and box2d.xna is optimized for Xbox. Farseer Physics can't get a decent frame rate on the Xbox, I've already tried it.
I don't recommend you to use box2d.xna it is outdated instead use farseerPhysics Engine witch is a port of box2d and is currently active: Farseer Physics Engine
I recently used it and was difficult to me to learn it.

Over the last few years I have grown rather fond of python. I enjoy coding in it a lot more than in other languages. Recently, a coworker told me that he preferred C#. I am having a hard time understanding his choice. When ever I code with C# I feel like its Java but for Microsoft products only. He also added that he is very pleased with the work Microsoft has put into C#. This seems to contradict what I have been lead to believe.
Anyways, which language would you say is more expressive? Which would you use to develop an application and why? What are some of the advantages and disadvantages of using one over the other?
Thanks!

Please, anybody, can you explain what the purpose of C# language and .NET platform?
What do you think about prospects of this language?
thanks in advance.
C# is a great high level language and .NET framework is a massive expandable library. And the whole purpose is to make programmers' lives easier. High level languages let programmers to put more time on solving the main problem rather than dealing with things like portability, serialization, etc.
the purpose of C# is like the purpose of java, except it is only meant for microsoft operating systems (there is a port to linux: mono, but I think you don't have the entire library).
It can be used for web development, desktop development and windows mobile development
