Very nice!
I still say you should work on the textures.
And if you have any questions on the BGE and/or python just ask me :) I worked on a game in BGE for 2 years then switched to just plain C++.
A tip: Use GLSL unless your developing the game for lesser computers.
To turn on GLSL, go to(at the top) Game > Blender GLSL Materials
And then mess with the materials on the gun or anyother model you have.
Also, you can make a normal map in gimp then put the generated normal map with the regular map on the object and enable normal mapping(parallax mapping).
A simple google search for this will help :)

My mac can support gimp but my computer is dumb because theres a thing called (X-11) and gimp wont run it on this mac, even though its on here. I download another X 11 and it says you have it. THis mac sucks. But yea this mac and GLSL lighting with this will take 10 years with the BGE on my computer. I whish it was faster. I have the old mac. Like 3 years before.

you could get a nice desktop (linux) with a quad core for under $400(I think that may have been a promotional thing though)... or u could probably get one for under $200 with GLSL support.
Check out newegg.com
Also you can get a very good laptop for $379 (i think). Newegg is excellent for electronics.

yeah newegg is kick ass. If you're not afraid to get a refurb, then for 300-400$ you can get quadcore's with 6gb of mem, 500GB HD, so on, promotional of course.

i know a bit about 3D modeling ^^ here's what i suggest
first off- your model is really rough, almost painful to look at :p jk.  but in all seriousness, you need to subdivide your arms and hands. its probably not going to be a good idea to subdivide the whole thing, i suggest you subdivide sections, bands (i mean like a horizontal circle, around the arm for instance) or even individual faces.
2nd- i noticed that your clip doesn't like to stay with your gun :) that's because its part of the gun, but it isnt grouped with it (i think that's the case anyway) for simple renders, dont be afraid to keep 2 of the same object around at the same time. one for the guys hand, one for the gun. or maybe you just got lazy, and the clips a separate object all together :P
anyway, you have good camera control, but you over did it. human eyesight is unique to other animals in the fact that we have very good peripheral vision, so jerking our heads around to see what we are doing isn't realistic. if you keep the clip just barley in your cameras view, it will work fine.

and that's all i have to say for now, keep up the good work ;D

I'd pickup the Animators Survival Guide.
I'm reading it now and it's great.
It covers 2D animation but it's extremely applicable to 3D.
I am hoping to become better at animation,
I stink at high action stuff and dialog.
I hope to chnage that soon.
