if you plan to make 2D games then start with pong...if it's 3D games you like then start with a first person shooter (FPS)...a lot of beginners are pushed into learning to program pong and have no interest in 2D games....find all the tutorials you can and learn all the basics...study other peoples code and learn why and how the code works...start small, like just moving around the world with collision set up....hope this helps...
