"was curious if it was actually as easy as it says."
Absolutely, I don't think anyone would disagree with this part.
"Can you really make games in minutes?"
Yes.
"Is there any programming actually required?"
None at all - but more importantly, there is NO way to add any programming. So you are sort of stuck with what it's capable of generating.
"Is it worth $30?"
Depends on your personal financial situation to be honest.
"Are the graphics good?"
By todays HALO and Half-Life 2 standards - no, not really
But they are not terrible either. Take a good look through the showcase on the T3DGM site - what you see there is EXACTLY what you get. If you like what you see, then that is what you'll receive if you ordered it.
Cheers,

Your brain's just like any other appliance: it works better if you plug it in...
