For 2D graphics, pygame is quite good: http://www.pygame.org\nIt takes advantage of the SDL library.\n\nFor more advanced graphics, especially 3D graphics, you'll probably want to use pyopengl:  http://pyopengl.sourceforge.net\nYou'll find quite a few examples if you download the additional OpenGLContext package.

DirectX is the main core of your games engine, you should download the latest DirectX even if a game doesn't need it, DirectX updates all multimedia related files for your pc, allowing your windows to process advanced mathematics and logics.\n\nDirectX is good!

Nowadays, either C or C++ appear to be the language of choice for game engines.  Some ports of engines are starting to appear in C# as well.\n\nIn addition, many of these engines use Platform APIs (such as OpenGL or DirectX) which are usually written in C with a hybrid of assembly language on specific platforms for speed.\n\nYou'll find that some of the newer game engines also provide their own "scripting" language, usually object oriented with several objects exposed to the script that are used to control the engine primitives.  You can find that a lot of talented "modders" for video games are getting a start in the gaming industry by providing their own art and/or script modifications to some of the existing commercial games.

It depends on the genre you enjoy most, but Freeciv ( http://freeciv.org ) has a long history as a great turn-based strategy game.\n\nIt's freeware and open source.

Probably one of the best ones out there is RPG Maker XP. It costs about $90.00 US but you can find versions around the web.

well, you don't need programming knowledge to write freeware games.  Go check out ScummVM at SourceForge (see source)\n\nIf you do want to learn a language, start with C.  Plenty of free compilers out there and it's not as hard as most would have you believe.\n\nJava is NOT a good suggestion.  It's hardly a revolution considering its age.  Furthermore, the only games I've ever seen written in Java are web-based.
