any game you want, you have full access to the directX libraries so the sjy's the limit. Could also download the xbox 360 developer stuff and create a marketplace game if you like.

How about:

Rock, Paper, Scissors?
Hangman
Sudoku
Connect 4
Chess
Blackjack

All fairly simply if you're a beginner....?

You are restricted to MDX 1.1, though which is quite frankly a horrible library/API to use (very poorly documented, no generics or .NET 2.0 features, etc.)

It may be worth looking at the Microsoft XNA framework, which is designed for .NET game development. Only problem is that the only IDE available for it at the moment is XNA Game Studio Express, which only supports C#.
