Answer 1

C#, Java, and sometimes Javascript seem popular for video games.

Answer 2

what platform?
that can make a difference on the language.
Do you want to make Moblie, PC, Console?

Answer 3

There are several languaged popular in games. Depending on what part of the code you are involved in it can be vastly different.

Get good in 3 to 5 languages with a solid foundation in computer science. Then go on from there into game libraries and graphics.

Answer 4

IMO, C++ and C should be studied. Java and JavaScript aren't hard to learn if you're good in those two languages. C++ for the video game itself, and C for the hardware. Rendering the image looks to be a problem for a while to come.

Answer 5

You're not going it's not so much the language but the game engine that will take time to learn.

Consoles

Consoles aren't a game engine. They're a device. A game engine would be something like Unity

There's also Phaser and Corona
