You will want a strong foundation with Calculus, Differential Equations, Linear Algebra, and a basic understanding of Physics (Mechanics). For basic games, these aren't but so important. The more complex you get, the more important they'll become. Linear algebra is especially important for graphic manipulations and transformations.

I very much like Paul's Notes as a resource, and we have a Math Resource Thread which I'm sure you will find helpful. Good luck!
