[casual_games] Torque? Popcap? Or DIY?

[Paul Brobst]

Unity has always struck me as odd.  The website looks very slick, it has 
the emphasis that it's games can be played on Mac or Windows, and 
supports C# scripting, yet the editor is Mac only.  It seems like the 
only thing that would do is limit the developer audience.
