Critics Consensus:Tearaway

Hi! We are Critics Consensus.  We post the regular critics opinion for video games and movies! Today it is the all new Media Molecule masterpiece Tearaway!
Sadly Medial Molecule's new game (creators of LittleBigPlanet) was pushed to November 22nd. Now it doesn't really seem like a bad release date for a game except for that it comes out when the Xbox One comes out along with three brand new Nintendo titles. I'm really sorry little Tearaway.
Tearaway is a great game. I really don't think I should explain more and I have a feeling it will become an underrated game due to this day. Tearaway has gorgeous visuals,fun to play and just makes you in  a happy feeling whenever you boot it up. Media Molecule's newest game is a masterpiece and do us and Sony a favor and buy it now.
Overall get this game.
Tearaway is rated E.

Critics Consensus:Super Mario 3D World

Hi! We are Critics Consensus.  We post the regular critics opinion for video games and movies! Today it is the all new Mario!
A lot of gamers might call it Microsoft's week due to the all new Xbox One but it seems like Nintendo might beat them out with their new Mario Party:Island Tour,Super Mario 3D World, and Legend Of Zelda:Link Between Worlds. I am not kidding. This is Nintendo's strongest week in nearly a decade. But without further ado let's get into it.
While not as amazing as the classic Super Mario 64 was this new Super Mario 3D World is a damn good try at it. It's gotten countless perfect scores and been called the greatest next gen game of  this year by Edge. It's colorful,amusing and downright fun as hell. This game alone justifies a WiiU. (Cited:Edge,Giant Bomb,Game Reactor Sweden)
Super Mario 3D World is rated E.

Critics Consensus:The Legend Of Zelda:A Link Between Worlds

Hi! We are Critics Consensus.  We post the regular critics opinion for video games and movies! Today it is the all new Legend Of Zelda!
While all the recent Zelda games(Phantom Hourglass, Twilight Princess,Skyward Sword) have been amazing and a great experience to spend sixty dollars there has not been one in a while that brings the nostalgia back. Well it looks like Nintendo is listening to our requests as this new Zelda is supposed to stay true to it's SNES roots. Let's see if the magic really does live up.
Some that say Nintendo should create new franchises can be wrong because it seems like they are killing it with their latest entries in Mario,Zelda and Pikmin. The Legend Of Zelda:A Link Between Worlds currently has a 90 on Metacritic meaning universal acclaim. It's been praised from every critic you know such as Gaming Age who called it the best Zelda since Ocarina Of Time not only due to it's nostalgia factor but due to it's new features,great dungeon design and simple but beautiful graphics.
Overall get this game. Yep you are gonna be spending a lot this weekend.
The Legend Of Zelda:A Link Between Worlds is rated E10+.

Critics Consensus Special:The Xbox One

Hi! We are Critics Consensus.  We post the regular critics opinion for video games and movies! Today it is the all new all in one Xbox One!
Controller:
The Xbox One controller does not come with as many improvements as the PS4 Dualshock 4 but still comes with new start and select buttons, and all new D-pad and PS3 like triggers. The D-pad on the Xbox 360 was probably the worst thing about the whole console and while that is not the case here, the D-Pad was still called weak by VideoGamerTv. Maybe it's just not Microsoft's thing.
Kinect:
The Xbox One comes with an all new Kinect 2.0 that supposedly has improved and more voice commands and better tracking for movements on motion controlled games. While it's not really very easy to tell because the Kinect-centric title Kinect Sports Rivals does not come out till 2014. The voice commands are pretty solid for the most part that is.
Games:
The Xbox One has one of the strongest launch lineups in recent memory. With exclusives such as Ryse:Son Of Rome,Crimson Dragon,Forza Motorsport 5,Dead Rising 3, and Killer Instinct the Xbox One definitely has the upper hand. The main consensus for these games is
Ryse:Ok-Mediocre Best thing about game:Visuals Worst Thing About Game:Upgrade System
Crimson Dragon: Best Thing: Nostalgic of Panzer Dragoon Worst Thing:Shoddy  Controls
Forza 5: Best Thing: New improved  engine Worst Thing: Load times and crowd graphics
Dead Rising 3: Best Thing: No load times big open world Worst Thing:Story
Killer Instinct: Best Thing: Fluid fighting;stays true to original Worst Thing:Visuals
Cited:VideoGamerTV,IGN,ReviewsOnTheRun,GameInformer
Overall:
Should you get an Xbox One?
No. Because it's sold out everywhere the prices will be even higher than 500 dollars. Our advice wait until January if you can. No launch game is worth the package although the snapping feature is impressive.

Critics Consensus:The Hunger Games:Catching Fire

Hi! We are Critics Consensus.  We post the regular critics opinion for video games and movies! Today it is the new Hunger Games!
While the first Hunger Games movie was not a disappointment in any particular direction it was not a spectacular film by any means. Now a new director was attached on this one, one who makes Brittney Spears music videos and directed I Am Legend. And it has a higher score than the first one? Let's find what all the hype is about.
It's true that the first Hunger Games was highly overrated as most critics called it a satisfying popcorn muncher but it seems that this one has a little bit more if not a lot depth. Tampa Bay Times gave it a 9\10 and said it was crafted with intelligence. Even The Playlist called it a monumental achievement that was worth the hype. The only bad thing is a pretty crappy cliffhanger at the end as said by Time Out New York but you cant have all of the cake.
Overall see this movie.
The Hunger Games:Catching Fire is rated PG-13.
