Let's face it - making a game is very time consuming and difficult. The way that professional game designers do it is using a language such as C++, which is very complex and time consuming, especially for a game. A staff of 6-10 people can take over a year to make a sales quality game I doubt anyone here has that much time. Microsoft has made XNA Game Studio - which is an easy way to develop games for PC and the 360, without fiddiling around with rendering engines, etc. It takes care of Physics, sounds, rendering - anything needed for a game.They even have a huge amount of learning materials on their site. Note that the XNA game studio is designed for smaller sized games - don't expect to be making any games as big as Halo or Call of Duty. Perhaps one of the best parts is that you write your game in C#, which makes it much easier to create code. To get it, download and install Microsoft Visual Studio 2008 Express C#. Next, download and install XNA Game Studio. That's it - you're done! Just check out some of the tutorials and experiment with it.

Actually Orge is a good quality free engine you could use to make top quality games alongside Blender and 3DsMax with python programming a decent project could be completed in under a year. Gimp is also a decent alternative to photoshop if you are on a money cap.

I have to recommend the Blender game engine. No coding is actually required, though if you want to do any it is in Python, which is a very easy language. Plus you get a 3D modeler and a ton of other useful stuff, all free and open source. www.blender.org

It doesn't prevent you from making any decent games; it makes it easier to make them with a cost of it being more limiting. Take a look at the video on this page - it is possible to make good games. And if the game is of good enough quality, you even have a platform to sell it - the XBOX Live Marketplace :D
