RPG Maker VX

RPG Maker VX helps you build your own role playing game. It is easy and fun!  It took me about 3 hours to learn how to use it and build my own game.

It is a shareware though, 1 month trial, then 60$ if you want to buy it. I am considering about getting this one, because I might use this game to create educational games for kids too.

Trial is available: http://www.download.com/
