There's an introduction tutorial on CodeProject here about XNA games, there is also a step-by-step version of Space Invaders using XNA also on CodeProject. Here is also a car simulator on CodeProject also. Do a search there using the keyword 'XNA' and you will be very surprised! :)

Hope this helps, Best regards, Tom.

http://www.riemers.net/ is great, I used this a lot when learning XNA. Also, I wrote a little tutorial in making a clone of Pong in XNA 4.0 you can take a look at if you like. http://ross-warren.co.uk/pong-clone-in-xna-4-0-for-windows/

I second the recommendation to Riemers tutorials. I would also like to add a helpful debugging library to the list. XNA Debug Terminal is an open source library you can setup in seconds that allows you to see the value of any variable, invoke any method, watch values changing in real-time, and more by simply typing c# code into a terminal-like display that appears atop your game window. Unlike the normal Visual Studio debugger, you can invoke arbitrary code while your game is running. You can find out more about this at http://www.protohacks.net/xna_debug_terminal . This will greatly help you to avoid a lot of frustration while learning XNA.

I also recommend James Silva's book: http://www.amazon.com/Building-XNA-2-0-Games-Professionals/dp/1430209798

He's an author of two XBLA titles and many successful XBLIG titles.
