XBox

I'm a newbie game developer. I'm planning to develop a XBOX (with a Kinect to double the fun) game. I've researched some 2D game engines that i can use in my project. After some research I've found IceCream engine and it looks delicious with its Milkshake editor. But I can't seem to find "working" game source examples for that engine and its own website's tutorial is not very sufficent.

(If you are familiar with this engine) do you know any community that has helpful resources for this particular engine?

If not, which engines do you recommend (that has a great wiki) for a XNA based XBOX - Kinect game?
