Actually this book came out late last year but thought it would be helpful to post a link to it here - covers all the essentials using Max and Torque TGE. 300 + full-color pages and 90 minutes of video tuts. It's called Creating Game Art for 3D Engines. Here is the link to the GG resource:

I grabbed this one right away and it is indeed a handy one, and I don't even have Max :)

@Dave - thanks;)
@Mark - I'll just chime in to say that the things which are universal should be primarily the scripting (getting your weapons, pickups, and two unique characters into a game and "breathing"). The texturing chapters could be applied to almost all Photoshop/paint type packages. The modeling, unwrapping, animation, and exporting chapters will have concepts that are similar to other packages, but the names and locations of the functions will of course be different. Seeing how things are handled in Max could help you solve similar problems in Maya or Lightwave.
