You can see the engine used listed in the box on the right. They use Unity. But choosing the engine is different from choosing the art style as it is often achieved with certain shaders and kinds of textures.

Hold your horses with starting game development just because you like something. Game development requires a huge set of skills and lots and lots of time. You might want to look into learning Unity as it is one of the easiest game engines available. You still need to make the models and textures with some other software. Look into vast amount of different options around internet.

There are two ways to do the Cel Shading, either through materials/textures or through a post processing effect. Or actually through a combination, I guess...

There are certain material shaders (with edge detect material effect) that draw a black outline around every model. This can be subtle of ery obvious, depending on the shader settings. Unity will do fine, but so will UDK. I've seen example in both engines.

As long as you're using an engine that lets to create your own materials / use custom shaders, then you can create a cell shaded game. Unity for an example has an abundance of toonshaders that you can easily download and use

Youtube.com If your using unity this can be a helpful tutorial I've played with it a bit and it works well!

Before answering this question you need to pick a Game Engine to work in, then you can go and get that Cell Shading.

Here is some videos showing different Cel Shading in Unity and UDK which I could recommend working in. Preferably Unity if you ask me!

Unity:

If you don't want to sit down and make the shader yourself I'm sure you can find both free to download assets and Cel Shaders to buy in the Unity Asset Store.

UDK:
