Geek Dad: "I started playing Halo 3 about two years after everyone else (meaning just a few months ago). While I crawl my way up the Spartan ranks, I've also been experimenting with the Forge mode. For those that don't know, Forge allows you to customize existing maps from the game as well as create all new levels.
For a while, I thought I was pretty hot stuff. My new map was going to be so creative that Bungie would come knocking. That was until I stumbled upon one of the more popular map sites, Forge Hub. Very quickly I learned that I had a long way to go before I can achieve the level of mastery seen within some of the maps there. I bow to you Forge gurus!
But, that realization did not tamp down my creative tendencies. And through an email from a colleague last week, I've turned my attention to another playground that can also be found on the XBox 360: The Kodu Game Lab!"
