None, I use QC for multimedia experimentation/visual stuff. I suppose it could be used for certain kinds of games but seems like a poor choice in many regards. Even if it had some physics and better model animation capabilities it would still get messy if trying to develop anything beyond a modest game I would think, and I think performance issues would also likely raise their head.
