You can use almost anything with a standard graphics library. These would include C, C++, Java, what was J++, C#, J#, anything .NET, and visual basic to name a few.

C++ is good, I use that one the most.

C++ would be the best one to use. You can write a reusable engine using that, which would save a lot of time if you develop future games.

Not that other languages can't do it, though. I just think that C++ is the best in terms of speed and power. I'm one of those that is still highly sceptical of .Net, btw...

(Despite the fact that I use Visual Studio.net to write stuff...)
