It's great to see so many great investments in creative tools by Microsoft. For those interested, Microsoft Studios (Team Dakota) has a great desktop/Xbox One game called Project Spark (http://welcome.projectspark.com/ http://welcome.projectspark.com/) that is essentially a 3D game builder enabling you to build 3D games from scratch or "remixing" other games from the community. Games are constructed from visual blocks called "Kode". It evolved from a previous XBox game called Kodu Game Lab which was targeted strictly towards the education market [1]. You can install Project Spark for free on Windows 8 (I have it running in a Bootcamp partition on a Mac Mini and it performs well and is very fun).
