Nathan from DarkZero writes - "It seems like every new generation of consoles launches with a game or two that makes you wonder what a developer was thinking. Some, like Super Mario 64, reveal that the developer knew how to utilize a new system's strengths to its advantage - others, like PS1's Street Fighter: The Movie, are so egregiously horrendous that the system could never recover (okay, a small exaggeration). There is a third category, however, where games like NBA Live 14 reside. The NBA Live series has been in release limbo since 2009, and the announcement that a new edition would be coming to Xbox One and PS4 was music to any sports gamers ears. Yet the final product is less than what you might expect, and ultimately becomes a minor footnote in the series history."
Alex S. from Link Cable Gaming writes: "The Xbox One is home to dozens of great video games… but also some garbage. So like we did for the PlayStation 4, let’s take a look at the top 10 worst Xbox One games in today’s countdown!"
When NBA Live 14 was released last November, the reviews, as stated before, weren’t flattering. Many fours and fives were given out to the franchise’s first title in four years, which didn’t sit well with the development team at EA Sports.
These low scores lead the team to realize that they couldn’t just wait until NBA Live 15 was released to address a lot of the issues. Instead, they worked countless hours to prepare gameplay and visual updates to NBA Live 14 to prove to their audience that they weren’t just in it for the money.
“We got hammered, and we didn’t like seeing the scores that were coming in,” executive producer Sean O’Brien said.
PSBlog EU: "100s of deals to choose from in our May Madness promotion "
Yeah they need to put "eu" or "na" in the title... eu didn't get those 0.99 flash sales awhile back :(
@tiqila
They had some nice deals two weeks ago for Vita during their Golden Week sale. I picked up several games Y's, Persona, Muramasa and Chrono cross.
Was thinking about picking up SoulCalibur 5, but it's not the complete version (including DLC), so I won't bother.
Other than that, I seem to have most of the stuff I would want.
Think they announced it yesterday. Xblg members will now have discounts like PS+ along with the subscription model. So they don't keep their games when their gold runs out.
I'm a happy PS4 owner now but one thing I experienced MS did better when I gamed on the 360 was their deals.
The deals for the PS4 have been meager so far, to put it nicely.
@InMyOpinion
I've gotten Resogun, Contrast, Don't Starve, Stick it to the Man, some other crappy game, and Outlast all free on PS4.. Don't think Xbox One owners have anything like that.
@jacksons
Yeah resogun was surprisingly great and addictive. What was free on xone?
Two sports titles with a minimal following outside of the US dropped to a still unreasonable 45 quid... At 20 I may have been tempted just to play a bit of 2 player here and there... no chance at that cost.
Wow the list of deals blows compared to what we've seen with us flash and spring sales lately .
Especially when i remember the Atlus sales in US .
And on PS4 really ? you can't afford even a meager 10 off on decent retail games ? Nba live wich no one wants and Madden with the new one looming over ?
Why is Europe always getting these sick deals? What about the folks in the States?

killzone:sf is also $84 on the psn store in europe... na always has better sales and cheaper prices overall
;)
We have our share of bad sales too and no we don't have cheaper prices overall. Not for people living here.
To you, it seems like that, because your money is worth more than ours. Everything is cheaper in your eyes.
Still it's not about just "importing" digital cheaper thanks to rate exchange .
There are deal more often , especially from publishers that dont even have an european office .
Today's list is still quite a few stuff that was already free in the instant collection , very old , or not really that cheaper with sequels incoming . BAre a few exceptions of course .
Instant collection stuff is usually better in EU , but the sales ? Nah
