If you're interested in programming games, you can get quick results from a higher level language than C, like Python (and PyGame). It can take a lot more work to get anything done in C, which can be troublesome if you're not driven enough to learn how to use it. That said, if you enjoy programming games, it would be extremely beneficial to learn C! I highly recommend the book: "The C Programming Language" by Brian Kernighan and Dennis Ritchie. It's known as the K&R book and it's a great introduction to the language's nuances.
Anyway, good luck, programming can be extremely rewarding! :)
