Game Maker is a product you can download for FREE which allows you to create 2D/3D games simply. Its easy to use,easy to pick up and almost anybody can use it. I have tried several of these types of software out and this is the best one i found, WHY i hear to ask? You dont need to buy a licence to create stand alone games thats the main reason why!!!

Ever wondered how to create computer games without getting bogged down in complicated programming? Well now you can with Game Maker.
