The majority of professional game developers use Microsoft Visual Studio 6.0 C++. This is for PC games, XBOX games, Pocket PC games, N-Gage, etc. The only other development environment I've used is CodeWarrior for GBA and PS2 development and it's awful. Microsoft destroys the competition.
And before you make a game you need to know the entire game design first, then you can plan your code architecture. Then, you start coding the most important systems first like your memory system, file system, display system, input system, etc. After you get your foundation done, then you can actually start coding game stuff. It takes a while.
To code my games I use Visual Studio.NET (C++). For graphics I use Paint Shop Pro 8. All other tools i code myself
