    Each of these programs is very commonly used in both development and other areas of programming. But as a budding game developer, which of these would you recommend that I start to learn? I can see myself mostly creating 3D FPS games (having little to no interest in any other game types)!

    I have read that C++ is better for general use whereas C# is more specific to gaming. What would you recommend?

    I would recommend C++.
    The main reason is that I just personally don't like Microsoft...
    C++ has better cross-platform support. You write the program once, and build it to run on many operating system like Windows, Linux, OSX, android, symbian... and even game console with homebrew support!
    C# does support porting to Linux and a few operating system but the games won't run well.
