The difference in pricing between Torque and Unreal is...well, unreal. For example. You can purchase a commercial license for Torque for $749 (or an indie license if you make less that $250,000 a year). And Unreal 2 is around $250,000-$300,000 for the engine licensing.

I would recommend searching the forums. There are a number of topics comparing various engines.

Unreal is a nice engine, if you can afford it. But most indie's cannot.

And don't forget that Unreal also requires that you pay a royalty back to Epic on top of thr $300K for licensing. Also this lawsuit isn't a very positive development.

GG does not require royalties on games made with Torque.
