Wow, a couple of weeks ago, Adam Kinney posted "Silverlight Gaming is about to explode" and just a short time later, things are sure looking that way!

Just yesterday, a new Game Development Forum was added to Silverlight.net. I'll be lurking around there for sure!

There are some great game programming contests going on, including the $5k ServerQuest Contest, and the Dr. Dobbs Challenge (which also includes the source code for their very cool platform game!)

We have Silverlight 3 lurking around the corner, which ScottGu alluded to some time ago, will have GPU Acceleration. Can anyone say Full Screen Scroller? :)

And Bill Reiss and company are working on a new Game Site devoted to Silverlight, SilverArcade.com. The site offers compensation through ad-generated revenue. Awesome.

Now, the challenge, which I really believe will be met, will be for someone to create a killer, addictive game in Silverlight that will make it a no-brainer for end-users to absolutely HAVE to install the Silverlight plug-in. This will no doubt push the adoption rate for Silverlight through the roof.
