Critics Consensus Update: July 18 2012

There will be no post today because for some reason nothing came out last week. Yay.

Critics Consensus: Dyad

NOTE: In the Critics Consensus Preview: The Dark Knight Rises I stated that the movie and the post will come out Wednesday. The movie actually comes out on Friday so the post will be delayed. I really hate Entertainment Tonight.
Hi! We are Critics Consensus. We post the regular daily critics opinion for the newest video games and movies! Today it is Dyad a new downloadable indie title for the PS3.

Games are getting really good or something because another game just got 4 9 out of 10's in a row. That game is Dyad. GamesBeat loved Dyad's addictiveness while Playstation LifeStyle praised that it was not very expensive. Game Informer called Dyad entertaining,Joystiq praised it's visual design and gameplay too. Dyad is amazing. Everybody owning a PS3 should at least look into this game because it deserves it.
Overall get this game. In fact get it right now.
Dyad is rated E.

Critics Consensus Preview: Critics Consensus: The Dark Knight Rises

So on Wednesday the Dark Knight Rises comes out since it is such a big release and no other movies come out that I need to cover this week, I thought I could do a little preview of The Dark Knight Rises post that is in production.
Movies very rarely get a 90+ on Metacritic and even rarer for a wide release movie. The Dark Knight Rises is just that. It also has a 97% on Rotten Tomatoes and the score is actually getting higher.
I am mega excited for this movie so I wanted to say it's scores and as a little preview for the post.

Critics Consensus: Quantum Conundrum

Hi! We are Critics Consensus. We post the regular daily critics opinion for the newest video games and movies! Today it is Quantum Conundrum the spiritual successor to Portal.

When Portal 2 was released in 2011 it had critical acclaim from every single critic. So when a game comes out directed by the person who had a main part on working the original Portal we hope that it will be amazing. Thankfully yes. Even though Gaming Nexus complained about the story and writing, Critics were also loving the game left,right, and center-field. Official Xbox Magazine UK praised it's addictive-ness while Gamereactor Sweden stated it had clever puzzles. The best thing about Quantum Conundrum is it's gameplay. And while it does not have the best story if you loved Portal 2 you will love this.
Overall get this game but if you do not want to get it that is fine.


Quantum Conundrum is rated E.

Critics Consensus: Ice Age: Continental Drift

Hi! We are Critics Consensus. We post the regular daily critics opinion for the newest video games and movies! Today it is Ice Age: Continental Drift the latest Ice Age movie.

Ice Age is a 10 year old franchise and it goes how most movie franchises go. First one is a great movie, second one is OK, third one is mediocre, and the fourth one is crap. Well guess what? We are at the fourth one. Slant Magazine magazine was the most negative on Ice Age 4 with a 12 out of 100 saying that it caters to the Duplo Blocks demographic and parents will be bored to distraction. Village Voice jumped in the negative review pile to saying that the best parts of the movie are few and far between which are the Scrat scenes. One of the only slightly positive reviews was Tampa Bay Times praising the movies villain. Lastly ScreenCrush said it felt like Ice Age 1.4 not Ice Age 4.
Overall do not see this movie but if you have kids bring them to it but be sure to have something to do at the theater because then you will be bored to death.


Ice Age: Continental Drift is rated PG.
