Blender as a Game Developement Environment:
Creating games using Blender and Crystalspace by Pablo Martin and Amir Taaki.
They created a Blender plugin for the Crystal Space 3D engine. They use Blender as level editor and modeling tool. You can write and assign scripts to your model or define physic parameters (ODE). With one click you can test your model or level inside the engine... and other fancy things.
