The official, Marvel-sponsored crossover between the biggest movie on the planet and the hottest game on the planet sees Thanos arrive as a playable character - if you find his Infinity Gauntlet.
The gauntlet will drop to the ground via a meteor (yes, another one) at the start of a match. Pick it up and you'll transform into Thanos and gain super powers.
Speaking to Entertainment Weekly, both Marvel and Epic gushed about the crossover.
"Over the past few months, while we were editing Infinity War, we'd take breaks to hop on and get in a few games," Avengers co-director Joe Russo said. "And then we started thinking, how cool would it be to have some kind of Avengers-Fortnite mashup?".
Valve has acquired acclaimed indie developer Campo Santo, the team behind vibrant walking simulator Firewatch and the very good looking In the Valley of Gods.
While the studio will relocate to Bellevue, it'll continue to operate autonomously, meaning that it will still be making its own games on its own terms. Presumably it'll just get perks provided by Gabe Newell's deep pockets, including a recent trip to Hawaii, which Kotaku reports the group got to attend as part of Valve's annual retreat.
When I first made this version of the site I did modify the RWar Database a hell of a lot back then but it was never finished!! just never had the time but now its all done just touching it up a tad here and there and adding all our old games, you may notice lots of old members 'ghosts' joining the site that's just me adding their names to the games, once done I will delete them.

When Sony XDev said that the free VR update for Wipeout Omega Collection was “so close you can smell it” they weren't lying.
The update goes live today alongside the news that Sony's PlayStation VR (PSVR) is getting an official price drop. It's a long-awaited release; Wipeout is one of PlayStation's best-known franchises and has been around since the days of the original console.
Wipeout Omega Collection gathers tracks and vehicles from the last three releases in the series: HD, Fury and 2048, the entire game has been ported to VR; even the main menu has been transformed into a 3D interface

There is a great article/book on Shacknews written by David Craddock posted late last year where you can only read the first few chapters for free you will need to signin and pay to read the full thing which is very much worth the small asking price tag (you will also be able to download the MOBI or ePub versions), it goes from Quake too Team Fortress too Half-Life and everything in-between.
Based on interviews with the developers, Rocket Jump explores the making of the Quake franchise, the culture that simultaneously shaped and fractured creator id Software, and other developers whose creativity defined an era.
