Babak answered well - but I'd like to add that It's going to take you a long while (maybe 1-2 years for a decently sized 3d game and a few months for a 2d game depending on your skill level) so you'd better start with Unity or Unreal Engine 4.15 which just came out. Unreal makes it easy if you know some C++ and have VC++ 2015/2017 installed. All you have to do is add elements in a drag and drop editor that automatically adds code to your Unreal project. One problem though is that it takes a while to compile code. If you have a high end gaming PC it's going to make it easier.

If you just want to create games without being involve in low level complexity, choose unity. Otherwise, go through OpelGL or DirectX.
