What is the best 3D game software?

I've tried jMonkeyEngine but I can't really start it up. There's always an error saying I need some sort of module. And I've tried Sandbox but that didn't work either, not enough freedom and I couldn't change the character. I haven't had a lot of experience with programming except with SCRATCH and a bit of Stencyl and Python but that's it. I'm trying to make an RPG like Legend of Zelda Ocarina of Time and a sports game like dodge ball. Later I want to make and MMOG but first I want to try with the RPG. I'm only 13 but I'm a fast learner. Any suggestions?

Update:

I'm on a budget due to the holiday shopping but I can buy anything $30 or less. And I have Windows Vista

Update 2:

I'd be VERY interested in anything with Java since I'm applying to a high school that specializes in programming and Java is their main language. It would be nice practice and look good on my application

    Unity 3d, hands-down. It is the easiest game engine ever. If you can't do it in that, then just give up.

    Here is a great series of videos to get you from amateur to pro: http://walkerboystudio.com/html/unity_course_start...

    BTW, you just don't know what your getting yourself into...You should really study programming first, at least for a year to understand the basics and the like. I've been learning programming for nearly 3 years, and can honestly say that it doesn't matter how many hours you put in, it's going to take you a couple of years to be able to create a game. Aim for Pong in Java, or maybe Frogger. That was the first game I ever made. :)
