After a break of around 2 years, I'll be throwing my time back into working on my various game projects I have lying around on a CD nowadays. 2 years is a long time in computer science, where in just a few months big things happen. My question is this: What major developments have occured in the last couple years that might be worth my taking a look into? I do the usual gamut of programming, ie: 3d/2d, AI, networking, etc. Hope this question isnt too broad, but I dont want to miss something which could be useful for me! ps: Is c++ still used much?

The last couple major developments would probably be that of normal mapping, shaders, and AI. Take a look at OpenGL since it has a new Embeded System's thing going on.

C++ is still the main thing, although not as much, many people are also using other languages such as C# and Java.
