What's this 'best' thing people keep talking about?
Everything has it's pro's and cons, nothing in the world is 'better'.
Try to describe what you are looking for at least.
SFML.

A beginner won't [i]know[/i] what they're looking for.
Is Unreal Engine a good engine? I want to learn C++ game programming.
[QUOTE=Dlaor-guy;29443327]SFML.[/QUOTE]
SFML is far from an engine. It's more like a library or API.

If you wanna buy the $100,000 license.

My guess would have been higher.
There is something called UDK, Unreal Development Kit.
I am looking for something like SFML, the ability to develop my own game engine.

[QUOTE=Mr.T;29443038]Title says it all.
Please list 2D and 3D engines.[/QUOTE]
Uh. Okay. SFML, then.
[QUOTE=Mr.T;29444420]Is Unreal Engine a good engine? I want to learn C++ game programming.[/QUOTE]
okay...like...okay... go and read some c++ tutorials and do those. Like really. And then you come back and we'll tell you "Okay you've done great son, now you can start with the basics in SFML". And then you'll be like "wtf I want to make games not this shite" and then you'll give up.
If you want 2D, use SDL and learn it. If you want 3D, learn OpenGL and SDL.

SFML is basically a newer (and from what I hear, far superior) version of SDL.
I dislike SDL due to the fact that using the text library caused memory leaks.
Only if you did it badly. It creates a new surface every time, so all you have to do is delete it after drawing.
op, the name of your topic is wrong for what you want, a game engine != a graphics library/engine
you should probably get to learn the language first
Long story short.. Learn how to do simple stuff. Like object design and sorting algorithms and stuff.. before you attempt to make a game, or it'l end up like minecraft. Buggy and inconsistent
