Did you want to write the game or just make the graphics? If you want to write the game you might want to check out this article:

The Path To Becoming a Game Programmer

For the graphics, I'm not really a graphics artist so I can't really advise you on that one. Maybe somebody else here can.

If you want to do it in 3D you would want to look into 3D modelling software. There are many but at the moment all I can think of is Blender. There are also game libraries you can look into as well as graphics APIs. From what you are describing, this project wouldn't really be for a beginner. It will take a lot of time and you would want good graphics and most likely sounds as well. Try asking this question in the game programming forum, they may have better answers to your questions.
