Kodu is a Microsoft experiment that's still in development. This means you can expect a few bugs and the odd crash, but other than that it's perfectly usable. And what you'll find in Kodu is going to be radically different from any other coding editor. It's a kid-oriented programming environment that lets anyone build their own games, without writing a single line of code.

Kodu features an eye-catching design that makes it feel like a game by itself. It includes lessons and sample games to get you started and make things even easier. You'll find a handful of ready-made objects, characters and obstacles, which you can arrange with keyboard and mouse and program with a special card system.

There are some obvious limitations to Kodu, as it's intended for kids with little or no experience in coding. Nevertheless it's a fun, colorful way to get them started in the hobby of creating videogames.

Kodu is an intuitive kid-oriented app with which you can easily create your own videogames – no coding skills required!

This is precisely what you can do with FPS Creator, an excellent game editor that enables you to create your own FPS adventures in a very easy way. No programming and no 3D modeling required! The program's interface does take a time to get used to, but you'll be creating your first levels in no time. Also, don't panic if you see no help available inside the program: look for the PDF user manual inside the game's folder.

FPS Creator includes a wide selection of 3D elements to recreate the game of your dreams: rooms, corridors, doors, decoration and more. Everything is taken care of, so for example, if you put a lamp inside a room, the editor will automatically control light dynamics.

But the best is yet to come: a single click will drop you inside your own creation after rendering it in 3D. You'll be able to walk along the rooms and corridors you just designed to adjust the last details or simply have fun with your own game.

This never-ending wait has created an enormous hype around Spore that we can now luckily soothe down a bit with the Spore Creature Editor.

That said, and despite being only an editor, this demo is surprisingly fun.

You can customize every single detail: body, arms, legs, eyes, horns, anything! Of course, this demo doesn't include all the elements available in the complete game but still, you get the idea.

You can even generate a baby-sized version of your creature to check how your descendants will look like.
