When Neogaf user DeadPixel made a list of all the games released on Xbox One and PlayStation 4 since release, there was a lot of discussion about quality vs quantity.

Your answer probably aligns somewhat with your console of choice. GamesReview's very own Steven Van Eekeran wasn't convinced that it was an issue of quality against quantity though. Instead he found that the average score across both new-gen systems was roughly the same, skewed slightly towards Sony despite them releasing so many more games.

EU May PlayStation Plus Titles Announced
It's that time of the month again. Sony have announced the new PlayStation Plus games for May 2014, and this time around there's more of a mixed bag.

First Image of Call of Duty 2014 Released
IGN and Sledgehammer have released an image of the next Call of Duty, supposedly from in-game footage. Call of Duty 2014 has yet to be fully revealed, although it was confirmed earlier this year that it would be made with a focus on new-gen consoles. Perhaps the release of this image, with its rather excellent texturing, is a continuation of that.

Back to the Future’s Hoverboard Becomes a Virtual Reality

After the film was released, people were sure it'd be on the market, and there's still occasional mentions of it whenever the film is shown on TV or the "This is the day Marty McFly goes to in the Future!" posts make yet another round. Well, one Oculus Rift developer is trying to make two decades of dreams come true. He's not working on a real actual product, but he's doing the next best thing.

Assassin’s Creed IV: Black Flag Sells 10 Million
Assassin's Creed will always be a top seller. It's simple-to-play basis and its constant location and cast refreshes mean that only those that stray beyond the 10 hour story manage to get entirely bored. As a result, the latest in the franchise, Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag, has hit a milestone: it's sold over 10 million units. It took a little while longer than its predecessor, but those that felt the series would find itself face down in the hay after Assassin's Creed III were definitely wrong.
