Visual Basic is really easy, and you can do most of the programs with it, but these programs won't be cross-platform, they will just run on Windows. Programing 3d games might be a very difficult task, it is not that easy.
If you want to learn a real and complex language, C++.

Also Visual Basic has a very good string management routines, and the structure of basic programs are much easier to understand than C.
