I have experience both in C++ and C# (not in game programming though) and it seems that C++ is still considered the stanadared programming langauge for game development. But it also seems that with the release of XNA that C# is slowly starting to become the next main stream game development language of choice. I was going to start creating a game and even though I enjoy C++ I have become very fond of C#, because so much code has already been done for you (thank you .NET). Which should I use to start developing my game?

I would advise C++ it is the standard language for games programming really, it is also fast at processing so you can make powerful games with it.

yeah, go C++. The .NET languages are slower than native code like C++

Most pro game engines use C++ and small amounts of assembley

definitely C++. C# has no where near the power as C++. the only real reason microsoft is allowing people to use C# for their 360 programming XNA stuff is because it is so weak and limited and will make hacks and such harder to create. personally, i prefer java XD
