Critics Consensus:The Elder Scrolls Online

Hi! We are Critics Consensus.  We post the regular critics opinion for video games and movies! Today it is the all new Elder Scrolls Online!
Skyrim came out in 2011 and was a pop culture hit. Even though it took place in a fantasy setting and was somewhat geekish it sold COD numbers,got amazing reviews and even some GOTY's and is now one of the top 20 best selling games of all time. Now that's impressive. So what better way to make a new installment in the Elder Scrolls franchise by making it online? Wait what?
Apparently this formula actually works. It has a 83 on Metacritic and while not all the reviews have come out yet, it's sold well enough that it's probably because it's good and your friends have it also. It's not exactly like Skyrim as Hooked Gamers said but it's got a fresh setting and new characters and items to keep you interested for a while and maybe make the $100+ dollar price tag worth it. (Calculated over a subscription based fees)
Overall get this game if you want to.
The Elder Scrolls Online is rated M.

Critics Consensus:Under The Skin

Hi! We are Critics Consensus.  We post the regular critics opinion for video games and movies! Today it is the all new horror film with Scarlett Johanson? This could go either two ways.
Scarlett Johanson is now an alien? Preying hitchhikers in Scotland? And doing what to them? Even if the person who wrote this script is probably on acid,meth, and LSD combined lets find out why this is getting such good reviews.
It's got a 76 on Metacritic and an 85% on Rotten Tomatoes. It's been praised for it's beautiful direction,hypnotic setting, and creepy and chilling acting. However it is probably going to mess with your brain as it is somewhat traumatizing. So apparently a movie with naked Scarlett Johansson is traumatizing. Thats not what I expected.
Overall see this movie if you want to.
Under The Skin is rated R.

Critics Consensus:Captain America:The Winter Soldier

Hi! We are Critics Consensus.  We post the regular critics opinion for video games and movies! Today it is the sequel to 2011's Captain America!
Marvel has been releasing movies and TV Shows left and right lately to tie the knot in between separate franchises like Iron Man,Thor,Captain America and the upcoming Avengers movie. However all has not been great. Thor 2 got mixed reviews and Iron Man 3 disappointed some fans with it's crappy plot twist and ending. Will the Cap be able to do it again? Lets find out!
Wow! The Winter Soldier has a 70 on Metacritic and a nearly 90% on RottenTomatoes. It's been praised for making the Captain America franchise modern and fresh,gripping and great action and charming characters. Marvels got it back everyone! Well at least according to 35 out of 42 critics thats for sure. Not a bad ratio if you ask me.
Overall see this movie!
Captain America 2 is rated PG-13.
