GameSalad is a Game Creation Tool for Mac, iPhone, and iPad

If you’re not impressed with the games at this week’s E3, why not make your own? TUAW reports that GameSalad gives anyone the ability to create games for the Mac, iPhone, and iPad. If you’ve ever wanted to create the platform adventure of your dreams, this is your chance. Though TUAW admits,

“Apparently, lots of people have that know-how, because there are already over 700 games that have used GameSalad’s development kit to bring their titles to the App Store. Herring showed me a few of them, and while they were playable, none of them really intrigued me. It’s tough to blame GameSalad for that, though; most of the fault on the games that I played came from the creators, not the tools.”

Hopefully we’ll see someone put these tools to good use, and in the meantime you can check it out for yourself here.
