Removing the learning curve is a bit pointless though, since it's the curve in which you learn, hence the name.
Anyway, I use Multimedia Fusion 2 for my own projects. It's available from www.clickteam.com and the standard version costs $100. So it's not free, but not expensive. Any sort 2D game is possible to do with it, and there's a fairly large community for it too.
I'd also recommend this book, On Game Design. It's a great book about game design, we had it in our first course on the university and I've probably read through it about a dozen times or more. Definitely a good read if you're into games. The author is also a really nice guy.
Good luck with the game making man!
