Answer 1

If you just start in game development personally don't recommend to begin with a game engine like Unity or Cryengine because they are really complex, with a lot of functionality that may help you or not and like you're starting this will be too much.

Personally for a beginner I recommend to start with the basis so you will understand how a videogame works under the hood like Tetris, then Pacman, and later a scroller where you have to check collisions, physics, projectiles...etc...and after I recommend move on to a 3D engine...

I know that could be a little tedious but it's the best way to start in this industry and it's a path little bit hard but believe me all those little games will help you on the future..

Answer 2

Unity3d is the way to go, between Unity3d or CryEngine3, if you want web based product. CryEngine don't support that.

There is also other options with web support, NeoAxis Engine & Shiva 3d.

Google for more.

Edit: The term game development is a huge one. It includes a lot of thing. So, wanna be a game developer, want suggestion wont give us any clear idea about what you want to do. It's better if you tell us who/what you already are/can, and what you want to be. Give us a bigger picture so we can suggest you to fix the details.
