[casual_games] Game Engines for Mobile games

[Martin Grider]

I am pulling together the comparison table/spreadsheet we talked about
earlier in this thread. I'll be presenting it at a high-level talk I'm
giving on iPhone game development at the local (MN) iphone development
meetup.com group in early May. I'll try to remember to post my data
back to this list when it's all compiled.

In my research, I also found this nice (if a bit outdated) list of
resources: http://iphonedevdepot.com/tiki-index.php (There is a list
of game engines about halfway down the page.)

My presentation is a "living document" (read: not completed) here:
http://goo.gl/jMccZ

I'm very open to suggestions at this point. Would love some feedback
on general gamedev topics, especially.

thanks,
-martin
