Is VB 2005 a capable language for use in game programming I'm a complete novice at programming at this time, and would eventually like to try to program some simple games for foreign language review and acquisition, and maybe even some 2D or 3D action games. Would the action games be beyond what VB 2005 could easily handle I've heard that most game developers learn C++ or C# instead of VB, but isn't VB a capable language for game development as well
Would appreciate any comments or opinions on this. Thanks in advance.

Thanks for the information, Ryan. That would make sense to me, since both VB and C# 2005 access the same basic structure (CLR), but I wanted to double check. In bookstores I've visited, I see most books on game development written for either C# or C++, but maybe that will change over time.
Thanks for the website for the training videos.

Yea VB .NET is as capable as C# on doing game development with .NET, I guess most game developers chose C# because they were already familiar with C++ or Java so C# is the obvious choice.
Here's some good training Vids on game development, it's on C# but it shouldn't be terribly difficult to translate to codes to VB:
