Make Your Own X Box Games with Kodu

You can create your own X Box games for the 360 console by downloading the Kodu program on Xbox Live. Created by Microsoft Research, the Kodu Game Lab is incredibly easy to use.

In fact, when the game lab was originally released, it came with a demo of a 12-year-old girl creating her own game with Kodu. The Kodu program costs 400 Microsoft Points, which adds up to about $5.

Kodu is essentially a visual programming software that makes creating a game easier than ever. Users input their programming into the system using the Xbox controller.

You can design your game to have one to four players. Kodu also allows you to fully customize the soundtrack to your game.
