Hello. I want to start developing games.
I am an expert on C# , vs, and msft stuff.
I have been playing with xna for 1 week
I would like to have a good engine for using with xna, but for free any idea?

What kind of games?
And, to what end (why)? To sell, as a hobby, for a career portfolio?

I would like to create firt person shooters to xbox, pc and ps3 mainly.
I would like to deploy to xbox live to earn money, I would like them to be sold for pc and ps3 but I have no idea how is the process of selling a product like mine for pc or ps3.
PD: I will start first with 2d games for trying.

You understand programming, so that is already a bridge that we don't have to convince you to build. (Ultimately, we can't build it for you, only you can do that.) Just start out small, like 2D Tic-Tac-Toe small, then go on to some old remakes and such. Then finally start making 3D demos, then when you can make all the effects that you want to include and have proven so with your demos, do the actual FPS. (Demos, from what I understand should at least include all the graphical aspects, i.e. shaders, z buffer, rendering, frame rate, and what ever else goes into 3D), physics, AI, etc...) Then you will know what ever you need to know to effectively create said game and make it marketable.

I recommend a game where you chase down forum spammers and shoot them down in cold blood.
First level would be set in... uhm... maybe Manila, in the Philippines? Just off the top of my head, really...

Then take a look at http://www.flatredball.com
It's a nice engine and has good features for 2D and 2.5D games.

Current working titles to my new game:
- Devil May SEO
- Call of Duty 5: Linkjackers
- Keyword Effect
Anyways, necroside is correct, check out FlatRedBall. Also, look at Reactor3D or TorqueX.
