I'm having difficulty integrating Ninject with XNA.

static class Program
{
    /**
     * The main entry point for the application.
     */
    static void Main(string[] args) 
    {
        IKernel kernel = new StandardKernel(NinjectModuleManager.GetModules());
        CachedContentLoader content = kernel.Get<CachedContentLoader>(); // stack overflow here
        MasterEngine game = kernel.Get<MasterEngine>();
        game.Run();
    }
}

    // constructor for the game
    public MasterEngine(IKernel kernel)
        : base(kernel)
    {
        this.inputReader = kernel.Get<IInputReader>();

        graphicsDeviceManager = kernel.Get<GraphicsDeviceManager>();
        Components.Add(kernel.Get<GamerServicesComponent>());

        // Tell the loader to look for all files relative to the "Content" directory.
        Assets = kernel.Get<CachedContentLoader>();

        //Sets dimensions of the game window
        graphicsDeviceManager.PreferredBackBufferWidth = 800;
        graphicsDeviceManager.PreferredBackBufferHeight = 600;
        graphicsDeviceManager.ApplyChanges();

        IsMouseVisible = false;
    }

NinjectGame.cs

  /// <summary>Base class for Games making use of Ninject</summary>
  public class NinjectGame : Game {

    /// <summary>Initializes a new Ninject game instance</summary>
    /// <param name="kernel">Kernel the game has been created by</param>
    public NinjectGame(IKernel kernel) {
      Type ownType = this.GetType();

      if(ownType != typeof(Game)) {
        kernel.Bind<NinjectGame>().To<MasterEngine>().InSingletonScope();
      }

        kernel.Bind<Game>().To<NinjectGame>().InSingletonScope();
    }

  }

} // namespace Nuclex.DependencyInjection.Demo.Scaffolding

When I try to get the CachedContentLoader, I get a stack overflow exception. I'm basing this off of this tutorial, but I really have no idea what I'm doing. Help?
