I heard that about 99% of games are made in C++. I think C++ is all you'll need because most of the APIs/Libraries used to make games are written in either C or C++ (DirectX, OpenGL, SDL, Allegro, DarkGDK, etc.). Since you already know C++, you should be comfortable learning any of the APIs/Libraries i mentioned.
Also, XNA looks cool too, but it's made for Windows and Xbox stuff. I don't know much about it, but the book at Barnes and Nobles looked pretty nice

DirectX - Mainly for Windows things both 2D and 3D graphics
http://www.directxtutorial.com/ OpenGL - platform independent mainly 3D easier than directX
http://sabia.tic.udc.es/gc/practicas/openg...GLTutorial.htmlSDL - platform independent mostly 2D
