You should make a game that you would like. It should include all the elements of a game you would like.

Do what you think you have the skill to do. If all you can do is make a 3D Pong game, then start there. Use the skills you learn there to make a more advanced game the next time. Hell, I've never made a game, so you're already far ahead of me. ;)

If you're not too confident on starting with the game you actually want to make, I would say the easiest things to do would be a small demo game just for yourself. Try making a little racing game based on starter.racing or a shooter based on starter.fps. Copy that content out to your own game directory and just start modifying from there. Or look into the book 3D Game Programming All In One which walks you through the creation of a hybrid fps/racing game and all its content.
