Hey,
Title already sais it. I want to try making a 2D game. Does anyone know a good engine for 2D games? I prever an easy enige but I need a bit of a pro engine. Not something newbish like Game maker.
Thx already =]
Blender 2.49 will have the ability for you to have an orphographic camera that actually works like it should and be capable of 2D physics due to the new axis locking feature.
There’s not many 2D engines out there that aren’t ‘newbish’ engines, if you want something programming heavy there’s engines like PyGame.
look at www.scirra.com… probably the easiest and best 2d engie

What kind of system do you want to publish to? If you’re looking to publish on computers (Linux, Mac, etc.) then it would be easiest to stick with what you already know (Blender). Blender is very capable of making 2D games, especially since the orthographic camera is fixed in 2.49 (as our friendly neighborhood dragon already mentioned 
).
What does “easy” mean to you? Do you know any programming languages? If you know Python, for example, you might look into using PyGame. I find it to be a very easy way to make 2D games. If you know C or C++, you might like to give SDL a try. (I found LazyFoo’s tutorials to be a great help in learning SDL.) Those are code based solutions, though. They don’t have visual interfaces.
Here are the newish engines:
