Best Buy sells a begginers 3D game creation kit, based on Visual C++. At least, they do down here in Waco, Texas. You might want to check it out. From what I saw on the back of the box, it looks pretty good.
The only reason I didn't get it was because my HD didn't have enough space left. ------------------
