An alternative XNA Game Engine is TorqueX which is free.

And you don't need VC# 2005
The XNA 1.0 Express needed the VC# 2005 express. But the XNA 2.0 supports the express of both as well as 2005 pro and the like.
Its not Express anymore as you can now use it to create X360 games not only "pure personal usage"
