Kodu Gaem Lab is a new visual programming language made specifically for creating games. It is designed to be accessible for children and enjoyable for anyone.

You can find this 400 Microsoft Point game in the (XNA) Community Games sections; soon to be know as the Indie Games section.

If anyone has actually bought KODU after using the XNA software (or tried to create a game using C#), and can submit a review... please do!

"No sir, I don't like it" (so far).

I'm playing around with the demo and my gut reaction is "They've been working on this for 3 years?"

I don't think I'll be picking this up, would have been great if they had offered it for free to LIVE Gold members.

It is really fantastic i know more about Kodu Game Lab is a newly released Community Game for Xbox 360. In my mind this always had the humorous hype of being the “Little Big Planet killer”, though as more and more information came about, I understood it was something a little different.

Kodu is a “create a game” game, but does not hold itself to a specific genre of game you can create. In fact, it encourages you to try different things, racing, action adventure, RPG, side scrolling, even first person shooters. A game that offers so much has the downfall of not being easy.When starting the game, it is slightly confusing. You are started off in a tutorial that you may or may not pass right away, and once complete, the game doesn’t show you how to get to the second tutorial level. Get used to this sort of treatment. I am not sure if the makers intended it this way, or were unable to provide a full tutorial with any time/size/money constraints they have, as the game provides many options but only so much help. Either way though, who likes looking through booklets, we all like mashing buttons, so that is how it goes.
