^^HTML and PHP are pretty much strictly web development languages, I wouldn't bother with them if I were aiming to become a game developer.
Scratch is good for prototyping concepts or trying new techniques you're learning, as said above. It's a pretty complete language.
Some popular languages + game libraries you could try, are
-LÖVE, for the Lua language
-pygame, a library for use with Python 2
-Unity3D, a 3D game engine, which can be scripted in JavaScript, a Python variant (Boo) and C#.
There are also many articles about getting started in game development.
