Sup !
Every second thread in this section is about how to learn C++ and making games and hacks. This thread will provide you all the latest [Well, few of them are old but are excellent on the subject] books on C++ in general and on developing games using C/C++. I've also included books on A.I, Character Animation, DirectX, Terrain and Mathematics and Physics for Games, so you have all resources necessary in hands. All the books are in PDF format. If you don't feel comfortable with PDFs, you can buy the books at Amazon.
