Kodu is a visual programming language that makes it easy to create your own games. It has just been released on Xbox Live. The application costs 400 Microsoft points and offers a lot of possibilities for ambitious developers.

The id Software company plans to release the public beta version of the Quake Live game.

It is a special edition of the cult Quake 3 Arena which will be available free of charge. To launch the game, a web browser and about 200MB of free hard disk space will be enough. Quake Live, due to the fact that the game is already 10 years, should work without problems even on old computers (also in full screen mode).
