I am currently taking c++ in college, and am looking to move into simulation / game programming/design.

My question is what is the languages that I would need to learn to move into this field. Currently I am a Cisco Engineer, and a hobby programmer ( mainly with Clarion and VB.NET ).

moved

Wrong attitude.
You decide you want to become a software developer, and try to find employment in the field.
Afterwards you may try to steer your career towards specific subfields (like game development) by attempting to get jobs in companies where you can develop skills relevant to that subfield (and maybe even companies in that subfield).

But if you have no practical experience and limited knowhow, you basically have to take whatever job you can get.
