There is no doubt that Blender's GE is becoming a viable option for a freelancer / no-budget game studio. However, it seems to me that the only thing which is holding the Blender GE back from greatness is the dramatically fluctuating framerate. Since the beginning Blender has been suffering from this, and unfortunately with these new 'frame-hungry' graphics it remains the biggest problem. Things can look cool, but at 10 FPS it gets real irritating real fast, especially when you don't have a state-of-the-art computer. It would be great if in Blender a system of 'sectors' would be implemented. Sectors being simple boxes which cut the game level in smaller pieces and are not rendered when the camera is looking away. Otherwise, for wide, open spaces a system of 'culling' would be more useful. Have faraway objects automatically replaced by a low-poly copy.
