C++ is a superset of C, so when you learn C you are in fact learning some C++. I would say go for LaMothe''s Gurus book, or his Windows Game Programming for Dummies (I haven''t read that one, but I hear it is good).

yeah but some syntax is slightly different and somethings arent in there, different keywords etc

Best book on C++ ever written is Thinking in C++ , by Bruce Eckell

It is a PDF format. You can buy a printed copy if you want or just go with the electronic version. I have both. It is clear, consice and very well written.
