The Blender Game Engine is a component of Blender, a free and open-source comprehensive 3D production suite, used for making real-time interactive content. The game engine was written from scratch in C++ as a mostly independent component, and includes support for features such as Python scripting and OpenAL 3D sound.

One Awesome piece of software, I just wish they would have kept the dual licensing for the game engine.

Pros: very powerful and free Cons: hard to use

The BGE is actually quite good - the advantages of being easy to code in and having possibly the best workflow in a 3D game enine far outweigh the fact that it isn't extremely fast or powerful. The fact that it is free and open-source also makes up for any lacks in its capability.

Sweety.

This is the game engine that I use, and it's SO user-friendly. It's got a soft feel to it and it gives you descriptions of what the thing you are hovering over does. It also uses logic bricks along with coding to cut back on your total scripts with internal scripting without even needing to code it. You just connect the logic bricks together in a certain order and you have simple game mechanics. For example, you can connect a mouse sensor which detects whatever you want to detect (left click, right click, middle mouse, movement, etc.) and connect it to an actuator that maybe picks up and item or turns on a menu using a button. It makes it so simple than write all of the code out. Another useful thing about Blender is that you don't need to use Maya to model things. You can model anything your mind comes to all inside of Blender. In my opinion, Blender is the best game engine and modeling program I've ever come across. Not to mention, it's absolutely free!

Blender is a free open source tool , with powerful functions with easy logic bricks and python commands , maybe it has bad graphics processing by default , but using shaders and screen filters do job
