I'd suggest TGF, It's easier.

TGF? If it is better to start with then I guess I'll try that. Thanks a lot!

One other thing, how long will it take for me to become an expert member like nuklear and you buster?

Ratings are just based on how much you submit to The Daily Click. If you look under User Admin, you can see how many DC points you need for each rank. Downloads are worth 5 DC points, and reviews of other people's games are worth 2.
TGF has an easier interface to learn and only costs $20. MMF is more powerful and has less limitations, but costs $100 and has a more difficult interface. There are 30-day trial versions of both (you can't compile .exe's with them) on www.clickteam.com. Have fun!

The über(the right way to spell it) game creation tool list:

Multimedia Fusion - what almost everyone here uses

The Games Factory - Yet again, what almost everyone here uses

Jamagic - Again, used more than anything below here

Blender 3d - It's supposed to have a game engine with it...and I never knew this...

3D Game Studio - one of the best 3D game makers in my opinion

Gamemaker - don't use it, you'll be labeled a n00b forever, trust us, it is the worst program you'll ever use

C++ - the "official" and only way to make "real" games

Visual Basic - supposed to be good, I've never tried it though

REALBasic - like VB, only cheaper

there are many others out there too, I just can't pull them off the top of my head, I'd recomend MMF for 2D games and if you want to make 3D, use 3D Game Studio, but you need to know some C for that.

I wouldn't recommend Visual Basic. Great for 'applications' but sucks for almost anything else, especially games. Go for C, C++, or MMF if you don't mind a challenge, or use TGF if you want to start slow.

Oh and here's a little thing that may be useful since you're new: http://www.create-games.com/download.asp?id=4878
