I would say go with Java to learn first. It is a very easy language to learn and TONS of resources on the internet for doing so.
However, You can use "game builders" to build games as well such as Unity or any others. But i would recommend atleast learning the basics of programming in general(such as learning java) before jumping in. Because even though Unity is a GUI interface for the most part, you will still need to write some code for certain tasks.
Hope this helps. :-)
