what do you think about c #(c sharp)?

C/C++ would be the likely choices here. They have the capability to produce very efficent code, do any variety of graphics necessary and use libraries that save time in the long run.

Well for my two cents I love that C++ does almost every thing I need and that my compiler takes it from code to EXE that can run on any windows platform. However I will admit that Java offers some ease of use functions (like error handling and GUI) that I just can't do with C++ (well if I were better versed it it perhaps). Then again I have always thought it would be cool if the dino languages like BASIC and COBOL would make a come back.
It would be awsome if I could get a COBOL compiler for Win XP that worked like Borland's Turbo C++ (the old version) or Personal Cobol. Heck I'd be happy with any COBOL compiler that worked on Win XP.

C/C++, Halo 2 and the likes need performance and C/C++ gives you that. C# doesn't have the efficiency required; as matter of fact no other language has the total efficiency required to make games.

C++, Halo 2 Software Development Kit.
But C++ will do it, provided that you have a degree in Physics and/or have graduated high level mathematics program.

Game programming is the elite of programming. You have to be very good at applying optimization techniques and having the ability to recognize bottlenecks.

it depends on the company ... as I know need for speed most wanted is programmed with assembly ( very low level language ) .. but as I know, most games are programmed with C language

C++ as its really close to the metal, squeezing every last bit of performance out of it!

C++, VC++
