Critics Consensus:The Internship

Hi! We are Critics Consensus. We post the regular critics opinion for video games and movies! Today it is a new comedy about Google interns.
The Internship is about aspiring Google interns. It stars Owen Wilson,and Vince Vaughn an old comedy duo last seen in 2005's Wedding Crashers. So can The Internship reboot their career or drop it like Bing's fate?
No. At times the Internship feels like a two hour advertisement as The New York Times said. It's somewhat funny as ReviewsOnTheRun stated but only for a couple of minutes and then it just sidetracks. This is a turn your brain off type of movie.
Overall only see this if you really want to.
The Internship is rated PG-13.

Critics Consensus:The Purge

Hi! We are Critics Consensus. We post the regular critics opinion for video games and movies! Today it is a new original horror movie called The Purge. Or is it?

The Purge is about a twelve hour period each year were all crime is legal. During that time a family tries to hide. The trailer looked interesting but does that happen with this movie? Let's enter the dangerous Purge and find out.
The good news about The Purge is that the plot is original. Everything else is pure crap filled with bad acting and horror movie cliches as Reviews On The Run said. They even gave it a 0.25! OUT OF 10!! Time Out New York also called it repetitive.
Overall only see this movie if you really really want to.
The Purge is rated R.

Critics Consensus:Fuse

Hi! We are Critics Consensus. We post the regular critics opinion for video games and movies! Today it is a new game from Insomniac!
A while ago, more appropriately an E3 ago, Insomniac announced a new game titled Overstrike. It was supposed to be a run and gun with a T rating. Then they threw it in the garbage and made Fuse.
Maybe that's why Fuse has a 63. It has a few interesting mechanics like the Mag Shield which SmoshGames praised but the game is short and is only useful when you have friends over and beer.  It's also a little bit tedious and gets really repetitive as Game Informer said. 
Overall if you can handle that give this a try.
Fuse is rated M.

Critics Consensus:Remember Me

Hi! We are Critics Consensus. We post the regular critics opinion for video games and movies! Today it is Remember Me Capcom's new IP.
Remember Me is insanely promising. It's a new IP from a struggling developer and it's got an amazing and original plot. However there is always the however's. And Remember Me has a lot of those.
Remember Me tries too hard as IGN said. It constantly guides you during the climbing sections and the fighting is repetitive and tedious as VideoGamerTV said. The characters are also kind of absurd as Metro GameCentral said. The game is beautiful and would be immersive if they actually paid attention to their design.
Overall only get this if you want to.
Remember Me is rated M. 

My Personal Opinion:GRID 2

Hi! We are Critics Consensus. We post the regular critics opinion for video games and movies! Today it is me reviewing GRID 2.
I LOVE Codemasters. Well mostly love them. Operation Flashpoint and Leisure Suit Larry are not the best franchises but when it comes to racing Codemasters succeeds at all of it. That's why I was excited for GRID 2.
The game is pretty much all focused on drifting. Which is kind of bad and kind of good. The gameplay is mostly pitch perfect besides for the fact that the AI can get in the way between somethings. Trying to cause a chain reaction crash will not work like it did in DiRT 3 because this is entirely different. It's a fun and amazing game. It just should be open-world.
Overall get this if you want to.
GRID 2 8.25\10
GRID 2 is rated E.
