According to the site, the engine database is committed to providing the most accurate and up-to-date information on today's engines. Source (Half-life 2's engine), and Unreal 3 are already on the list, and their listed features are pretty impressive."

    What's the use, really? Other then the geeky "Oooh, ahhh!" value of the screenshots and juicy technical details? I mean, how often a day do you need an extensive database with all the 3d-engine available, along with their pricing? I mean, nearly all good 3D engine simply cost bucket loads of green, not something ye olde random hobbyist isn't willing to spend. That, and if there's a large and serious 3D game project, the owners of the engines themselves will show up and show their products, thus pretty much negating the use of the database for professional use as well.
