MS confirm new Live game, Kodu
News - Community creation title mooted
Kodu is the name of a new game from Microsoft, coming to Xbox Live. Entertainment and Devices mogul Robbie Bach confirmed the new community creation title during a CES 2009 speech yesterday.
Tapping into the user-generated zeitgeist, Kodu is billed as a quick-fire building game, allowing players to create their own worlds in minutes, using an image based creation tool that is very easy to use.
The game is, as per-usual, aimed strictly at non-traditional gamers, and according to the official spiel: "Kodu created playgrounds are expressed in physical action-reaction terms, using basic concepts like vision, hearing and time to control your character’s behavior."
Bach demonstrated how simple to play Kodu is alongside a 12 year-old girl on stage.
