Microsoft’s game creation software suite, Kodu, goes live today on Xbox Live.  For only $5.00, a chance to tool around with what could be an industry-changing technology is almost impossible to turn down.  Then again, Kodu could turn out to be a gigantic waste of everyone’s time, but for $5.00, it’s probably worth finding out for yourself.

Also, remember that Kodu is listed as an Xbox Live Community game, and not an Arcade title.  I know that’s a menu that very few gamers ever bother checking out, but while you’re there, you can further support the community games movement by picking up one of the many fine Community games, such as “Shiatsu Massage,” “Penguin Slip-Slide,” or “Chinese Checkers Deluxe Edition.”  Or not.
