Despite it's simple appearance, it's clear Microsoft are dipping their toes in the LittleBigPlanet sea with Kodu. While the game was a no-show at E3, it'll be a show-show on 360s later this month.

The development team's official blog has announced that the title/service/thing will be out at the end of June, with final content passes currently under way at Microsoft.

While comparisons with LBP are inevitable - and understandable on a conceptual level - one look at Kodu shows that it's looking to be an entirely different beast, acting more as a colourful (though basic) toolkit for many game types, rather than an artistic (and more detailed) slant on just one.
