Do you know anything about programming? If not then I would recommend you first look at C#, it has a C-like syntax and is generally easier to use than C++ plus it has XNA which you can use to make games.
I'm not saying C++ is bad, C++ is very good and is my favourite and most widely used programming language. I'm just saying that learning C++ without knowing anything about programming concepts is like running over a mindfield and hoping you don't get blown up.
If you can get C#, then you will be amazed when you go to C++ at the power you get from it; given it's closer to the metal so you have to do more things yourself, but that also gives you a great deal of flexibility.
