2019 was one of the more diverse years in video games that I can remember. It felt like no matter what you were into—big-budget games, first-person shooters, focused and intimate indie experiences, hardcore systemic RPGs, you name it—there was probably a great game for you this year. It's also a year that felt slightly left in the lurch.
At this point in time, I'm pretty sure Respawn (the studio behind Titanfall , Apex , and Jedi: Fallen Order ) could make anything and it would be fantastic. Apex Legends was a bit of a pet project and an experiment for the team, a low stakes entry into the incredibly crowded battle royale genre that exploded in popularity once it was released.

It's the latest craze on college and high school campuses, but also the bane of some professors and parents, who aren't yet convinced that it's actually a sport or even anything more than a mind-rotting fad.
Birds Of Prey's Black Canary Actually Knew The Character From Video Games
Such was the case when Jurnee Smollett-Bell found out she'd be suiting up as Black Canary for Birds of Prey . But, instead of knowing about the crime fighter with the canary cry from DC comics or the many shows on The CW that have featured her for the past several years, Smollett-Bell was familiar with Dinah Lance from a very specific video game.
I mean for me, it's such an honor to be bringing Black Canary to film, you know? Black Canary, she's such a legendary character, and I became a fan of her from Injustice 2 . And it's been amazing to work with these rockstar women, and feel the sisterhood that we have, and we all became so close too. It's been a dream. It's such a dream.

With the No. 3 Maryland men's basketball team leading Notre Dame 30-20 with 5.8 seconds left in the first half Wednesday night, Anthony Cowan Jr. was fouled, setting up an inbounds play to the left of his team's basket.

The 20 Best Games of the Decade | Hollywood Reporter
The 2010s offered a lot to gamers, from brand new franchises that have gone on to be industry leaders of their own to reinventions of decades-old series that benefitted greatly from a foundational shakeup.
Below, a group of The Hollywood Reporter 's game critics, columnists and staff writers choose their picks for the most influential, impactful and memorable titles released over the past decade. While a number of games that are still major forces in the industry today are absent from this list (such as League of Legends and Minecraft ), such titles were omitted because they launched last decade and this list employs a strict "2010-onward" rule for its entries.

Green Hero went on to win the National STEM Video Game Challenge, which only solidified Heyward's passion for video game design.
"I felt really passionate about it," Heyward said about Green Hero. "And that passion made me know that I could keep doing this, over and over."

Minecraft is, by far and away, the most popular video game on YouTube, according to new figures released by the video platform as part of its end-of-year round-up.
To celebrate the imminent evaporation of 2019, YouTube has unveiled its latest Rewind video, offering a brisk, but still almost entirely insufferable, run-down of the things viewers have fixated on the most over the last 12 months.
The most pertinent section (for us at least), arrives around the 2:30-mark - but if you'd rather not subject yourself to YouTube's nonsense, allow me to supply the key details.
