Amazon's Lumberyard Game Engine

Yeah, it's a game engine. You can use it to design and develop your own games. The Engines come with pretty much everything you need to make your own (even AAA titles), except maybe unique art assets. Every major studio uses one or more proprietary or licensed engines that they make all their games in. There are a couple Open Source ones there which will allow you to use their engine as much as you want for free up front to design it, but they'll charge you on the backend by taking a percentage of game sales numbers. The big open source engines that are out there now are the Unity Engine and Epic Studio's Unreal Engine. 

Now it looks like Amazon is getting into the game by releasing theirs as Open Source, but they'll charge you on the backend for AWS space used to host your game once you go "live." What separates Lumberyard from the others I mentioned is that Lumberyard is natively cloud based which makes it cross-platform.

Here's a video example of what it can do:
