Try Game Maker by YoYoGames. That is what this section is about after all. If you try that and it's too easy for you, try Unity 3D.
It depends what sort of game you want to make. RPGMaker can make only RPGs but it's much easier than Game Maker.
There are many different options for you, like Unity 3D, Ogre SDK, and 3DS Max. Unity 3D can make application games as well as web-browser games. Ogre SDK requires knowledge of the C++ programming language, so it is a bit more complicated. However, this setback is well worth it.
