You can make a game using blender, but the internal game engine is not the best so if you want to make a game you should download Unity 3d since it is better than the blender game engine. You could mess around with the built in game engine.Also I would also add that blender could be used to make cgi movies in it. Well I hope you make good progress in blender especially since I am try to learn how to use it myself.

You can make games in Blender, but I can't tell you much besides that, I'm not a game developer. From what I have heard, the Blender engine is not very good.

I suggest that you focus on a single aspect of Blender, when you feel you're already good enough at it, then you can pass on to the next. Trust me, it's much easier this way.

Now with that out of the way, you could download the UDK ( Unreal development kit) which I have heard really good things about.

Link if you're interested. http://udk.com/download

You could also mess around with the cryengine but you will need a really good computer to make good use of it:http://mycryengine.com/

Can you make a full game using Blender? I have practically zero experience with programming. I recently downloaded Blender and I was wondering if you can do more than make character models and objects using it.

To be perfectly honest, you will want to learn some programming if you're truly serious about making a "full" game. Hopping straight into a pre-built game engine with absolutely no programming background is a terrible idea for a number of reasons, but mostly that you'll have no idea how the "magic" happens and your games will also be built more like Frankenstein's monster rather than something truly your own.

Expanding on this, Blender uses Python, iirc, which is probably one of the simplest and easiest programming languages ever made. Learn it. Learn it NAO!
