Most games are made with Microsoft Visual C++, but you dont need to use that. You can download the free Dev C++ IDE to write C++ programs http://wxdsgn.sourceforge.net/
Reply:C++ is a programming language that was derived from the programming language C. Microsoft Visual C++ is an IDE(Integrated Development Environment ) that is used to create applications for C++. There are lots of IDE's eclipse, bloodshed, ect. Game companies use there own IDE to create games. For example Gears of War was developed using the Unreal 3 engine developed by epic games. Some development kits use C++ and others use other languages. There are lots of programming languages C#, J#, python, java, ect. If you want to learn to program or make games you need to hit a book store. You would also need to go to school for software or game development.
