How can I become a Game Developer?

I want to start developing games for PC or browser or maybe even console. I have basic knowledge of Java, C/C++ and a bit of ActionScript 3.0 My problem is that the more I have researched on the internet the ore confused I've become.

Here are some question I am confused about

1. What should be my first step? Should I learn some language/s first or start using available SDK or Game Engine(Unity, Game Creator etc)?

2. In case of languages what should be my first priority?

3. There is also a lot of debate between first learning and then developing games vs doing both simultaneously.

Please help me. Any other advice is very much appreciated.

10 points for the best answer. :)

Update:

@Atamosk I want to be a developer and code my own game. I am not a designer. Plus coding is fun.

    Well, youll need to know a lot about design. That's what comes to mind when I hear "game developer". If you have no design skills then maybe get into writing stories. But if you have artistic abilities then you could create 3d models and things of that nature, which is pretty boring if you ask me, but I'd say go for it. The shortest class you will be able to find will last for about 2.5 years. You could also just learn 3d modeling/animation on your own using youtube. Game developing sounds like an extremely boring job, youre sitting there for hours just making 3d models XP I'd rather have people making my game.
