I have Suse Linux 10.0 i think, i havent used it in a while because i am used to Windows XP, and i have heard that once you get used to linux it is ALOT easier to use than XP, and i would like to be one of those few that uses linux, but i would like to know what is the best distro...
i would like it to be able to play games like america's army
i do some C++, HTML, Javascript, PHP, and a little of basic script (though i dont know if that would run on a linux platform or not) so what do you think it the best distro of linux?

I personally like the stripped linux distros, due to simplicity. If i'm running linux, it's usually for some sort of server or other daemon and I perfer it to be simple. Therefore I like distros such as Knoppix, DamnSmallLinux and even Debian.
Its really up to you tho. :P

Everything other than playing games are true for every distro that labels itself as end-user friendly, for playing Windows games, you will have to find one with easy access to a DirectX emulator called Cedega, used to be called WineX and this software is written by Transgaming.
My machine is an obsolete AMD 2000+; I chose to use XFCE it is really fast.
