There are many kinds of software out there but some free ones are "UDK"(Unreal Development Kit), and the "Unity" game engine. But if you're creating the 3-D mold and sculptures, then you'd need something like "3-D Coat" which is available on "Steam" for about 80.00 USD or more. Hope this helped!

Game Maker is a very popular game creation tool, although it can be a bit limited.

If you want to create FPS games (first-person shooters) a good tool is FPS Creator; a newer version called FPS Creator X10 can even create DirectX 10 games for Vista!

That's a loaded question. Different software fills different roles.

For example, Unity is very popular among hobbyists and professionals alike. It's incredibly powerful but requires that the user takes time to learn its workings. It is also fairly essential that the user knows C# or J#.

Game Maker is simpler. You can use it without coding for very simple games or learn GML (a simple, easy 'Game Maker Language' programming language) to augment its capabilities. In the right hands, Game Maker is very powerful but is better used for smaller (especially 2D) games without large computational costs.

I cannot submit links but a Google search for "Game Engine Analysis and Comparison" brings up an excellent article for comparing the major game making softwares available.

Personally, I'd recommend trying Game Maker. It's especially good for gently introducing people to programming, object oriented code and working with graphics.

It depends on what you want to program. You can use a variety of programming languages like Java, C++, Visual Basic and so on. And to use these languages you need programming software. Try Microsoft Visual Basic for a start. Also you can google C++ compilers and tutorials. They are in abundance.
