Critics Consensus:Bound By Flame

Hi! We are Critics Consensus.  We post the regular critics opinion for video games and movies! Today it is the all new RPG from an aspiring indie studio, Bound By Flame!!
Bound By Flame is being released at a very interesting time. It's a new indie RPG currently thats coming during a next gen drought. It also costs 40 bucks instead of the average 60 so even if it's not that good it's not that big of a waste of money. Right??
Apparently not. Videogamer.com's Jim Trica gave the game a 2\10 and said that it was incredible misogynistic with horrible graphics,Polygon,Gamespot,Hardcore Gamer Magazine, and GRYOnline all gave the game 4\10's. There have been some positive reviews but they've been mostly praising the good parts that are too far and in between. Bound By Flame is a total mess on all aspects of gameplay,story,and graphics and sets the bar lower for SPIDERS.
So it's obvious you shouldn't get it.
Bound By Flame is rated M.

Critics Consensus:Palo Alto

Hi! We are Critics Consensus.  We post the regular critics opinion for video games and movies! Today it is an all new comedy with Emma Roberts and James Franco based off of the book by none other than James Franco.
James Franco has had a crazy career in books and movies. He's made 4 books and has played roles that have gone from a hiker that has to amputate his arm in a rock shaft and a crazy alien-like rapper in a movie about strippers robbing banks. So now he's going onto the more dramatic side with a movie about teenage highschool drama. Let's find out.
Palo Alto has gotten some great reviews and has even been called a turn stoner for newcomer Emma Roberts career and gripping to a point by numerous critics and has been praised for it's long lasting memorable effect after you see it. However some critics such as New York Observer and Slant Magazine called it boring and filled with tropes. So it's obviously not for everyone but if you're looking for a good indie film you should definitely go see it.
Palo Alto is rated R.



Critics Consensus:Neighbors

Hi! We are Critics Consensus.  We post the regular critics opinion for video games and movies! Today it is the all new Zac Efron\Seth Rogen comedy Neighbors!!
Remember 21 Jump Street? And the hype and worry about that mostly due to the fact that Channing Tatum (a guy mostly known for his photo shoots and meh acting) was going to be playing one of the main parts. Turns out the movie was laugh out loud,turned around Channing Tatum's career, and even got a sequel that will release this year. And now a new comedy is out with Zac Efron and Seth Rogen and it looks very similar to 21 Jump Street and you know what that means? It's probably gonna be one hell of a hilarious movie.
Neighbors has a 68 on Metacritic and a 74% on RottenTomatoes. It's not The World's End class of humour but it's definitely gonna be great with friends, and has been called a revival of the studio comedy by The Wrap,written better then it needed to be by Hitflix,and probably the best Summer comedy so far by Village Voice. 
Overall see this movie.
Neighbors is rated R.
