Most triple-A games are written in C++.
The PlayStation Suite uses C#.
Minecraft was written in Java.
Roller Coaster Tycoon was written in Assembly. (More fun fact than practical comparison)
If you need to prioritize, pick a programming language to focus on over HTML and CSS (Unless you're determined you want to try and make HTML5 games). Popular starting choices for programming include Java, Python, and C++.
One of the best things you can do right now is to pick a language and learn it like the back of your hand. Then learn another, and another.

Thanks for the advice!

This. And right now, you're 16. By the time you get out of university, you'll be 20+. C++ is the way to go for now, as well as the foreseeable future. A way to get a leg up on your studies is to go to Barnes & Noble and get yourself a book on C++ and practice the hell out of it. There's several emulators that are free/cheap to download that will let you write your code and look at it in action with out it having to be online. Study the books on C++ and practice on those programs while getting with your school councilor and expressing your desires. Plan your educational path to coincide with your goal, and you should be writing code in your sleep by the time you graduate high school. Which will only give you a damn fine head start for university.

Thanks, man. Great advice. I'm already on a path for industrial engineering, so switching over to programming wouldn't be too hard as they both require strong math backgrounds. I think if I start now, I should be in good shape.
