Game Engines: Short List (UC)

I will add to this as I go along.

Here are some games engines, some examples of the games that use them, and a brief description of them:

Unity

Unity is a great little 3D game engine for indy developers and people learning games development and it has a browser plugnin to be able to play online in the web browser.

Unreal

There are a a few incarnations of this engine, the current one being Unreal Engine 3, it uses DirectX technology and it is the engine on so many popular titles on both the PC and consloes.

Source

Source is a multi-core, multi-platform engine, that means it can be used to develop for both major consols and also the PC. It is a great engine for modders and first time developers to use, as there is an active community of developers out there.

Aurora, Odyessy and Electron

The NWN2 toolset is probably the easyies toolset for beginners to jump into and it uses the Electron engine. Being built for RPG games the depth of content you can create is huge. The Electron engine was developed from the original Neverwinter Nights engine, Aurora. not only was the Aurora Engine used as the base for the Electron engine used in the official campaign, but it was adapted into the Odyssey Engine, used for the Star Wars game Knights of the Old Republic.

Gamebryo

This is one of my current favorites to play, it is used in Oblivion and Fallout 3... Im going to play some games now do some more research!.
