Another engine worth taking a look at is Unity 3D. The pricing is within the same range as TGB. Based on what I've seen so far, it's THE engine if you're intending to develop a fully 3D title. In addition, Unity 3D supports the PC, Mac, iPhone, and Wii (like TGB). The only downside is that the game editor itself is currently designed to run only on a Mac.

Expect to see a review about Unity 3D in the upcoming blogs.

Great write-up! Thanks for sharing your experiences with Torque. It's an engine I had fiddled with briefly a few versions back. I might have to take another look at it.

I never knew you were so interested in game design. I am really interested to hear about the game your making.
If you are ever interested in attempting to make a game let me know, Im always looking for a side project. I know action script and I use flash quite a bit, I would love to learn more about programming.
