errrrrmm..
it all depends on what kind of game...
RPG?
fighting?
action?
Puzzle?

, that's true. Because for Fighting Games, I use a little program called "Mugen"....

Alright, all joking aside, for RPG's the program of choice to create your own is usually "RPG Maker". There's several different types, but the most versitile with character appearances (for instance, if you want to make something complicated design wise like WereGarurumon) tend to be the earliest 2-D versions where you can paint your own sprites from scratch if need be.

I've seen a lot of modding for existing games as well, such as FF7 for the PC.  You can't really change much in the way of the game is set, but you can do all sorts of things like change the dialogue and swap character models.

Well I know mugen can make a fanmade Fighting Game.But yeah an RPG is what I'd be interested in.I know RPGMaker can do it.BUT I want to make it more of an action RPG rather than a turn based.I don't think that RPG Maker is capable of doing that.

Get the C++ For Dummies book. It helps wonders.

What's C++?

C++ is a programming language.
