GameBlender (a.k.a. Blender 2.0) is another. It makes it really easy to create interactive 3D games.

But you're right -- it's the artwork that matters, not the code. It's relatively easy to code up simple wireframe games if you have OpenGL, ODE and perhaps a game engine. Now try to get artists to contribute comprehensive artwork for free and under the GPL. This was my experience writing xracer.

Rich.
