Kodu is a new visual programming language made specifically for creating games. It is designed to be accessible for children and enjoyable for anyone. The visual programming environment allows rapid design iteration using only a game controller for input. Share your creations with friends over XBOX LIVE.
Visit the official page for Kodu Game Lab for more information.
Should be interesting to see just what kind of games users can make with Kodu. As a big LittleBigPlanet fiend, I'm definitely going to try this out.

i hope you arent referring to the service being a fail.because so far the tools they have provided up and coming devs to make games with have turned up some great results.there have been some great games come out of xbla due to these tools.

besides you get to actually create a game from scratch.not alter one to your liking that already was created with the tools inside.big difference.
