How much is likely to change in the Premier League table if the season is played to its conclusion? BBC Sport looks at the past 10 years for some hints.

“Death Stranding” is one of the oddest, and one of the best, games of 2019.

The game ably emulates the manic tempo of being young, smart (and stupid) and having a wild night out.

The ways in which the game uses forced perspective and illusion to evoke the subconscious is thrilling.

In a year without industry-shaking trends, this year's list leans toward the titles with forward-thinking aesthetics, challenges to convention or a sheer ability to dazzle.

The game teeters over the line between childlike and childish.

DC's "Joker" may have the edge on Marvel.

“Arise: A Simple Story” coasts on its gentle visual language, but is a good option for those looking for a family-friendly game.

The beautiful hand-drawn visuals, dreamlike puzzles, and mysterious story line of 'Luna The Shadow Dust' -- which unfolds without a word of dialogue -- will draw you in and hold your interest from start to finish.

"Half Life: Alyx" will transport you to an incredibly vivid science fiction world.

If you’re not put off by its low-key, text-centered nature you're likely to fall for this thoughtful, serene game.

Don’t be surprised to see the visionary "Paper Beast" on the year’s best list.

A.J. Green and Tyler Boyd (Cincinnati Bengals) plus Odell Beckham Jr. (New York Giants) are among the top fantasy receivers off next week.

The key could be Dedric Lawson, a 6-foot-9 forward who sat out last season after transferring from Memphis and is the best transfer Coach Bill Self has landed in his time in Lawrence.

The 49ers are 1-9 straight up in their last 10 divisional games.

Alabama and Clemson appear to be on a collision course ending at the College Football Playoff championship game on Jan. 7 at Levi’s Stadium.

The Members team ultimately fell 10-4 to the press team, despite valiant efforts from players such as 2020 presidential hopeful and team pitcher Kirsten Gillibrand.

The new parents showed up at the first official MLB game in Europe on Saturday.

Game designer and publisher Dave Gilbert founded Wadjet Eye Games in 2006.  This interview features conversation about point and click adventure games; digital game development, marketing and publishing; and the relationship between art, passion and real world commerce.

Jeffery Klaehn: How did you first become interested in point and click adventure games?

Dave Gilbert: I played King’s Quest at a very impressionable age! I typed the word “jump” and I saw Graham actually jump, and I was so blown away that I’ve been playing them ever since.

JK: You founded Wadjet Eye Games in 2006 to sell your game, The Shivah, commercially, then moved to pursue game design on a full-time basis and released The Blackwell Legacy, the first in what would become a series of five games.  What are your thoughts on these games and on the market then compared to now?

Dave Gilbert: I am Blackwell Legacy’s biggest critic. It was the first game I wrote with the intention of selling commercially – The Shivah was originally freeware, so I don’t count it – and it shows every inch of my inexperience. The gameplay is clunky, the story is told in three giant infodumps, and the main characters weren’t very likable. But that said, I know with absolute certainty that it was the very best game I could have made with the experience, resources and time I had available. So I stand by it.

As for the market, everything is different. Back in 2006, indie games in general were a very new thing. Read the rest

(Purdue University) New environmentally friendly technologies promise to be 'game changers' in the rare earth metals field and enable the US to create a more stable and reliable domestic source of these essential metals. Purdue University patented extraction and purifying processes using ligand-assisted chromatography are shown to remove and purify such metals from coal ash, recycled magnets and raw ore safely, efficiently and with virtually no detrimental environmental impact.

Immune checkpoint blockade represents a promising approach in oncology, showing anti-tumor activities in various cancers. However, although being generally far more well-tolerated than classical cytotoxic chemotherapy, this treatment, too, may be accompanied by considerable side effects and not all patients benefit equally. Therefore, careful patient selection and monitoring of the treatment response is mandatory. At present, checkpoint-specific molecular imaging is increasingly investigated as a tool for patient selection and response evaluation. Here, an overview of the current developments in immune checkpoint imaging is provided.
