I've just started researching basic game development, there seems to be many tutorials and texts using C++. I've been using Java for almost 2 years now and was wondering firstly wether its worth changing over to learning C++ and secondly what other langauges are used for game programming??

Languages used frequently in game programming: C++, Objective-C, C#, Java, ActionScript, JavaScript, Lua.

To further enforce your decision to learn C++ I would tell you to check this link out:
The Game Creators - Dark GDK - Index
It's all about the Dark GDK (you would use this with Visual Studio) and its possibilities.
This is really exiting as far as Game programing goes. For learning C++ I would definitely check these links out:
Learn C++ -
C programming.com - Your Resource for C and C++ Programming
These are probably the most useful C++ tutorials On the web.
I hope it helps ^^
