I found Janete Perez's posts on how to import Adobe Photoshop files in Expression Blend 3 Preview very detailed and explicative. She starts with an introduction to slowly cover the many elements of graphics editing in a total of 3 posts. Thank you Janete!

I found this tutorial extremely useful for casual game development, where many times we want to prompt the player to choose one of many options like a level of difficulty or the number of players, to mention only a couple. It shows how to change the look and feel of radio buttons to make them fit the design and theme of our game. By Jory Schossau.

An Audio and Powerpoint walkthrough from GameFest 2008 on how to build a game with Silverlight 2 using Visual Studio 2008. It is not the most recent stuff and its a pity there is no video included. Topics include creating game UI, integrating media, setting up game loop logic, animation, web services and multiplayer networking.

Gavin Wignall shows how you can move a sprite by capturing the ‘Keydown‘ event and applying a variable to the Canvas.setLeft & Right properties. His example is cleverly graced with an animation that gives the illusion of rotation.

Nicolay Raychev explains how to create easing animations in Silverlight 3. He already wrote a storyboard with tons of combinations so we don't even have to start trying from scratch. A great way to get started and play with the possibilities.

I found this very useful. It's an article series that cover the following:
Module 1: Getting Started – Architecture / Framework
Module 2: Movement and collision detection
Module 3: Design – Sprites, boards and dialogs
Module 4: Animations and sound
Module 5: Initialization and Deployment
Module 6: Advanced concepts (Physics, Multiplayer, Optimization)
I believe the last one so far is module 3. Interesting.
