Question

Which project template should I use for Visual C++ game development project? I am really new to Visual Studio and I am little bit confused with all these Windows Form Application, Win32 Console Application, CLR Console Application, etc. stuff. I have previously coded games in Linux and now I would like to do a pure Windows application.

You can just open an Empty Project under the Visual C++ projects. I don't what libraries and so forth you will be using. I doubt you are going the .NET route definitely don't want CLR based apps in this case.
