Which do you mean, the ones I linked to their tutorials, or the ones I stated afterwards?
I'd recommend to start with Java, as it's easy to learn, and you'll most likely make graphical Apps, instead of Text Based.
You can also consider to use Visual C++, which is C++, but in a framework (click to make Apps).
Delphi is that kind of language too: Make a few clicks, define what it has to do, and you're done.

In general, it's not recommended to start from zero, all the way to Game Development.
Start making some "Hello Worlds", and learn the other basic stuff, and then you'd be ready.

Examples:
PHP:

<?php
echo "Hello World!";
?>

C++:

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

int main ()
{
  cout << "Hello World!\n";
  return 0;
}

C:

#include <stdio.h>

int main()
{
  printf( "Hello World!\n" );
  getchar();
  return 0;
}

Java:

class HelloWorldApp {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        System.out.println("Hello World!");
    }
}

These are text based, but Java is the easiest to make it graphical, as others require other libraries or frameworks.

All of these examples just print the text "Hello World" on your screen.

OK, I will start with some of the Java.

Forgot a nice one: Object-Orientated Java.
Difference: Java is more text than graphics, OO Java is more graphics than text.

Example:

import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
import javax.swing.*;

public class Hello extends JFrame {

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null, "Hello World!");
        System.exit(0);
    }
}

This results in:

i was feeling so dumb when i did that. Long time ago.
Well, in my case it was "Hola Mundo"
i haven't got any practice in programming a long time ago... The last thing i did was some dumb calculator years ago. And a game with an ugly ant jumping around. I don't even remember wich languages i was using.

Me neither.
I made, like, three games(I cant post them Ive no idea where they are on my computer).
Now thogh, I dont make them as much.
May be my laptop.
