I'm building a top down shooter and i want to make the screen flash a color of tint when you are hit. What would be a way of achieving this mechanic?

Probably the easiest way to do this would be to draw a partially transparent full screen sprite (with SpriteBatch). You can animate the alpha value over time in code to make it gradually fade it and then back out.

A pixel shader should be able to achieve this effect for you.
