Unity3d is best for beginners as it was built to be a blank canvas for multi platform game development.

Here is a list of books you need to help you get started:

Just about any programming language nowadays can be used to make games
Even the last born HTML5 is used in building many ground breaking games .
I advice you should understand the fundamentals of programming first .
Understand some graphics (either 2d or 3d or both)
Then choose a game engine ,there are tons of them
Unity is cross platform and its also cool
You can try Godot engine , its also cross platform and very very small and open source too (just 20mb !!!!!)

C++ or C# (preferably the latter).
