The program was not what I thought it would be, but I plugged through and graduated anyways. Perhaps I should have researched it a little more over at YouTube. (Oh wait... YouTube didn't exist at the time) I graduated with a Diploma of Technology in Computer Systems. The program was not what I thought it would be, but I plugged through and graduated anyways.

Flash games, 2D games, 3D games, etc. it all makes a very big difference. Whether you need DirectX or OpenGL or both. Are you going to use an existing game engine or write your own, etc. There is no answer to the question: what programs do I need to become a game developer.

If you want to start on the web you can start with something very basic like popfly.com. If you think you are really ready for a console game (most people are wrong about that) the easiest way to start is with XNA which uses Visual Studio/C#. But one really needs more information to make specific recommendations. Creating computer games is a complex problem that does not lend itself to simple answers.
