Getting started in game programming

As a computer science major, I have a fair bit of experience in C++ and Java. For a fun summer project, I want to program a game. Doing mostly console applications so far, I'm not quite sure where to start. I checked out some books at the store, but they aren't quite what I am looking for.

Anyone have some resources for programming games in c++ or java, assuming previous knowledge of the langauages?

You should also decide:
(1) Which OS you will be targetting. Windows has far more options than *nix (API's, sample code etc.)
(2) C++ or JAVA? I recommend C++
(3) 2D or 3D game? Ever dealt with 3D math (vectors etc.)?
